Helping Young Children Learn from “Bee Kind”

Why This Story Matters

Bee Kind encourages young children to:

  • Be confident and proud of their interests, even when others don’t understand them.
  • Respond to teasing with kindness and courage.
  • Appreciate Allah’s creations, from honeybees to the environment.
  • Learn teamwork and community through relatable examples.

Discussion Prompts (Ages 4 -8)

Feeling Brave
“Sameer felt nervous at first. Have you ever felt shy about something you love? What helped you feel brave?”

When Someone Isn’t Nice
“Bilal laughed at Sameer’s bees. Was that kind? What could you say if someone laughs at something you like?”

Allah Made Everything Special
“Allah made even tiny bees to do important jobs. Can you think of another small animal that helps the world?”

Working Together
“Bees work together in their hive. How do we work together at home or at school?”

Sharing Knowledge
“Sameer shared what he knew about bees. Why is it good to share what you know?”
