Excerpts from SAM:The Cat Without A Tail 
Andy and the kittens congratulated Sam on
his amazing catch, and Alex rewarded Sam
with a tasty cat treat. Now Sam understood
that he could join in the fun and games, that
he could nap under the tree with Andy, and
that he could give the kittens rides on his
broad and strong back. Sam didn’t mind if
they called him ‘stubby’ anymore. He knew
he was one of a kind, a very special Manx
cat – a cat without a tail.

Caregivers appreciate the last page with additional information. Here are some of the actions to support the development of self-worth:

      • Help children be independent and provide opportunities for them to be in control of their action.
      • Find ways for children to experience success so they have more opportunities for achieving competence and feeling good about themselves.
      • Avoid reinforcing stereotypical ideas of what is appropriate play and instead encourage a diverse range of activities and skills for both girls and boys.
      • Create ways for children to interact and play with other children and help them figure out strategies for getting along together.
