During this time of uncertainty, our little people’s mental health is more important than ever. Can you imagine how it must feel to have one day finished school and not seen their friends or loved ones since?
I for one am an advocate for personal, social and emotional development. When I saw this worry monster craze, I fell in love with these cute little things and decided to call mine Wilber.
Feel free to use my poster and post cards, so you can have a Wilber too!
Enjoy!
