This behaviour is natural as this helps them identify their gender. They start making separate “boys” and “girls” group and the talk of “girls cannot do that” and “boys cannot do this” too crops up. The book is based on the predictable behaviour that kids of this age group display. Brother bear and his friends too take down their “No Girls Allowed” sign and instead put a “Girls Welcome” sign outside their club house.
Instead of being mean to them, Sister bear decides to Brother bear and his friends in their fun.
At the end of the story when Sister bear was having a cookout at her club, Brother bear and his friends come to join in. Mama bear also recommends her to go ahead and make her own club with bears that want to be her friends. However, Mama bear advises wisely and tells her it is not essentially about whether someone is a boy or a girl, but about how someone plays the game. Sister bear is angry and so is Papa bear.
As the story progresses, Brother bear and his friends are annoyed by Sister bear and so exclude her from their club putting a “No Girls Allowed” sign outside their club house. No Girls Allowed starts with Brother bear and his friends playing amicably with the Sister bear. There could have been nothing more perfect that this. Just a few days after this incident, we found No Girls Allowed of the Berenstain Bears series in the library. She was also confused as to they are not allowing her to be in a “Transformers’ group?” One day Little B came home and told me that the two boys have asked her to leave the group because they were now going to “form a Transformers’ group and Little B being girl cannot be in it.” She was heartbroken, her friends for months now were suddenly not her friends anymore. They were even together in couple of extra-curricular activities. They were more like three musketeers doing things together, even getting scolded together. So as it happened, she had a so-called group with two boys who she was playing with in school. The term “rough patch” might seem like an exaggeration when being used for a 5-year-old, but the truth is their problems are as real as ours. And that is where this book becomes special.Ī while back, Little B was going through a “rough patch” at school. Maybe all of the children in the world are different in some way. Or maybe it is just one of those things that every parent in the world feels about their child. I don’t know if we are raising Little B in a different way or if nature made her this way, but yeah, she is different.
