Hello,

I’m Lion, the king of the jungle – and I truly feel like one. My mane? Magnificent. I stand tall with a straight back and a lot of confidence, always admiring myself in the mirror.

I have so many fun ideas, and I love sharing them with my friends. I enjoy showing them the best way to play the game. Sometimes, it makes me come across as a bit bossy to them.

When my friends don’t want to play with me, I don’t really understand why, and it makes me feel angry and a little sad. 

  Do you sometimes recognize a little Lion in your child?
  Or would you like to see a bit more Lion in them?

• Use Lion's characteristics as conversation starters in situations that also happen at home.
  Example: When your toddler takes charge during playtime, like assigning roles in a game, you can say: “Look at you being the leader of the game! Great job!” This helps them recognize leadership as a positive trait and encourages their initiative.

• Don’t limit this to toddler situations; apply it to yourself as well. Be a role model and point out when you yourself are a bit of a Lion or when you could use a little more Lion-like behavior.
  Example: If you’re making a big decision or leading a family activity, you could say, “Today, I’m taking charge just like a Lion! It feels good to be confident and make decisions.” This shows them that even adults can have Lion-like traits.

• Ask yourself aloud how Lion would handle a particular situation.
  Example: If there’s a disagreement over a toy, you could say, “Hmm, how would Lion solve this? Maybe Lion would take a deep breath, share the toy, and find a way to play together.” This encourages problem-solving and empathy while modeling thoughtful behavior.
