Nurturing Kindness and Emotional Intelligence with Tammy Valier

Well, the first thing we've done is we've created a little character called Harmony Hare. Because there's a very important thing. Because if you know, one of the most powerful stories is the story of the tortoise and the hare, right? The rabbit and the hare. So there's a background story to Harmony Hare. So if I give you a couple of key things, Harmony Hare was a little rabbit that was in a pet store and a family decides to buy her for Easter when all of the rabbits right are really popular but they bought her on a whim right it was like oh let's buy a rabbit and then they realized rabbits are a lot of work right and the family gets tired and you know decides uh how about we release this rabbit into the forest and so they release the rabbit into the forest. And how do you think Harmony Hare feels? Here she is, she's abandoned in the forest, she doesn't know how to survive in the forest, she didn't grow up in the forest. So we're able to talk to children about their emotions. So how do you think Harmony would feel being left in the forest, right, but abandoned by her family, sad, and then at night, she feels scared. So she didn't wasn't born angry. Things happened to her along her journey that transitioned her into the Bosco Bullying Bunny. And that's how we hear about the story of the tortoise and the hare. And we know this rabbit who's like, I'm the fastest of all of you and challenges the little tortoise, the little turtle to a race. Well, what happens is that little turtle might be slow, but 1% that turtle goes and ends up winning the race. And she doesn't.
