In many ways, kids don’t get as many chances to fail as they used to. Sports are often played in a non-competitive setting, children are no longer held back at school and because instilling positive self-esteem has become a focus for so many parents, many children no longer learn about how to continue on regardless when they’d don’t succeed at a task.
But failure is a part of life and learning to keep moving forward despite a setback is one of the most important lessons we can give our children. That is the concept behind the Never Give Up Bunny and recently I received the Never Give Up Bunny Family Pack to review so I could see just how these adorable bunnies help children learn about perseverance and achieving goals.
To me, one of the clearest signs of a great company is that it offers products that have been used and loved for generations. My very first toy, bought for me by my mother a month before I was even born, was a Fisher-Price Happy Apple and that toy was passed down through every other child in our family and then on to my oldest son. A toy like that is impressive not just because of its durability, but even more so because it has appeal that has proven itself to be timeless.
Anna, the oldest of my sister’s two children, is in Kindergarten and starting to outgrow her once fervent love of Dora the Explorer. But Izzy, the youngest sibling, is just under three years old and absolutely adores Dora. I decided to give the set to her and she was so excited to have her very own Dora to play with!
