I was hopeful that this would help our 4 yr old break a thumb-sucking habit, but wish I could have read the story before buying.

First, the story introduces the idea that children who wear things to help them break bad habits will be mocked by their peers - something elementary children will sadly probably already know about (so the story will feel familiar and sympathetic) but not something that would ever occur to my preschooler (or her peers). So I would definitely have to censor that while reading.

The reward that ultimately convinces Sister Bear to stop also won't be relevant for modern children. Wow, ten pennies. Commentary on changed society aside, I don't know a single child who would work *as hard as you have to!!* to break a bad habit for ten pennies. Either they're too young for the concept of pocket change to be highly motivating (they'd rather have an M&M), or they're old enough to know you can't do squat with ten or even thirty pennies. Shoot, even gumball machines charge $0.50.

So, you could censor the mockery out, and redact the reward to make it ten nickels or ten M&Ms or something, but at the end of the day the ultimate solution given isn't realistic - "being aware" of having coins in her pocket makes Sister Bear not bite her nails, but most oral-motor fixations are something you do *without noticing* and don't even remember after. Not being realistic means it makes the problem of breaking a habit seem artificially easy, which will only increase discouragement for kids who are trying and failing. For that reason, I don't think this book is very relevant for parents of children with this problem. But maybe it's a nice story if your kid has no bad habits.

With my ADHD son, I've purchased a fair amount of "therapy" books. And yet NONE of them cover this topic. Nor suggest a solution. So imagine my surprise that our beloved Berenstain Bears books had one that fit our need perfectly. All my kids love these books and so does my son. And they cover all kinds of topics that are important to us parents that we struggle with teaching our kids. For example, another favorite in our house is "Too Much Junk Food." These books cover these topics without sounding like a lecture! My kids quote them all the time. They have a gentle narrative that presents the problem in a natural tone, and they always present a solution delivered with a sense of wisdom verses technique (like in thereapy books). In this book, the solution is presented to Sister Bear in a way that gives her (the child) control over her situation. She then connects her choice of behavior to the result of that decision. She gets to keep some or all over her pennies that then get saved up for a bigger prize. It takes time to earn the prize, and therefore breaks the nail biting habit naturally over time. Sister is in charge of how many pennies she keeps a day and it takes her weeks to of continually making that choice, which in turn breaks her of the habbit. Brilliant. And so simple.

I got this to help my three year old who has recently started biting his nails. What I liked best about this book is that it emphasizes that breaking a habit is hard and takes time and work. The cover made me worried they might be really harsh with the little girl, but they were very kind and gentle as she worked through this habit.

It hasn't stopped my son from biting his nails, but I think he appreciated feeling like he wasn't alone with his habit. I highly recommend it!

MY 6 YR OLD GRAND DAUGHTER WAS HAVING NIGHTMARES, THIS BOOK REALLY HELPED HER TO UNDERSTAND WHY WE CAN HAVE BAD DREAMS. SHE REALLY LOVES ALL THE BERENSTAIN BEARS BOOKS. THEY ARE SO WONDERFUL AND TEACH REALLY GREAT LESSONS.

WHO doesn't love the Berenstain Bears!? These are household favorites! And there seems to be one for almost every occasion. I get them for my kids as the situation calls for it. First day of school, Too much TV, Chores, New Baby, easing..... you name it. My 4 yr old is going to be getting a few of these for Christmas this year!! Cause Santa knows what's up!! ;)

Based on other reviews I choose to purchase 2. I paired this with "Stop Thumb Sucking, Thumbusters, Blue" and boy it has worked great!!! My 5 yr old would suck his thumb when he was: tires, sad, bored, anxious, etc. It got so bad that I caught him suckling him thumb in THE MIDDLE OF SOCCER PRACTICE!!! This has worked amazingly! We are usign the star chart AND used $0.25 prizes for reinforcing as suggested on the book. SUCCESS!!!!

Hang in there parents!! There's light at the end of the tunnel ;)

Bought this book, along with some gross tasting nail polish, for my 2 1/2 year old nail biter. She loved the book and reading about Sister Bear's bad habit. It gave me a way to talk to her about biting her nails that didn't come across as scolding to her. We talked about the book and how her bad habit was just like Sister's. I don't know if it was the book, the gross polish, or a combination of the two, but now my daughter has long nails and her fingers aren't sore! Would highly recommend it!

I bought this book for my granddaughter who was having bad dreams and waking up every night crying. I was hoping this would have her see that the bears also experienced the same thing.
