Rabbit Learns Skunk is Sincere

Rabbit Learns Skunk is Sincere

The path to true friendship isn’t always easy. 

When we approach others with kindness and curiosity instead of making assumptions, we can build real friendships. Instead of reacting harshly to Skunk, Rabbit responds with empathy and is able to understand Skunk, rather than judging her. Rabbit then tells Tortoise about this experience, describing how managing her emotions and practicing active listening helped her to build a positive connection and deepen her relationship skills. 

Rabbit Learns Skunk is Sincere, along with the four other stories in SEL Collection 1, uses the timeless power of the fable to provide a framework for exploring feelings through listening, observing, guided discussions, and self-expression. All stories highlight all five core SEL competencies, helping children to discover how to navigate the world and grow with and in support of others. Charming animal characters invite children into the stories, letting reflection and learning flow naturally. 

For a richer, more in-depth learning experience at home or in the classroom, the Rabbit Learns Skunk is Sincere Instructional Package gives educators and families everything they need to turn the story experience into a transformative conversation.
