The Bear and the Bee — UK English accent (TheFableCottage.com)


Our version of the Aesop tale, retold by TheFableCottage.com: Mr. Bear is hungry for honey. Unfortunately he has no talent for negotiating with bees... This short story about the dangers of losing your temper is told in the present tense and uses simple language — great for English language learners (and everyone else too!)

Solano Family & Children's Services : Family Strengthening


Family Strengthening

The Strengthening Families framework is a research-informed approach to increase family strengths, enhance child development, and reduce the likelihood of child abuse and neglect.

Protective factors are characteristics or strengths of individuals, families, communities or societies that act to mitigate risks and promote positive well-being and healthy development. Most often, we see them as attributes that help families to successfully navigate difficult situations.
