"After a bout of challenging behaviour I decided to award bear cards according to my 4 year old son's actions. The threat of receiving a 'naughty' bear card was enough to change his manners. The challenge was to win all the nice bear cards by the end of the week for a reward. For every naughty bear he lost a nice bear WOW! What an incentive for a competative child. By the end of the week our naughty and exhausting child had become an exceedingly nice bear!"
A mother

"These are a lot of fun, I am sure my great nephew will benefit from these!"

“It is so difficult to find something different for little children and here is the very thing. Not only is it extremely attractive, bright and cheerful, but the message is also bright and cheerful and one that we could all do with paying attention to. I am going to try them on my great grandchildren as soon as I can."
