Daniel Listens to Dad

Daniel is playing with his fishies and doesn’t listen when Dad Tiger tells him it’s time to go to The Music Shop. Dad shows Daniel how to stop and show he’s listening, so they can make it to the Music Shop before it closes. 

 

Daniel and Katerina Listen to Each Other

Daniel is playing at Katerina’s house and wants to put on a show, but Katerina isn’t listening and keeps playing her own way. When Henrietta shows them that they can stop and listen to each other, they come up with a grr-ific new way to play together.

 

Strategy: I can stop and show you I'm listening.
