A Story About Sportsmanship, Self-Worth, and Who You Are When the Noise Fades
Celebrate effort, integrity, and the quiet courage it takes to keep going when the cheers end.
Inspired by the emotional moments that follow competition, Bennett the Bear invites children to explore what it means to show up fully, even when recognition doesn’t come first. Through gentle storytelling and meaningful keepsakes, this toolkit helps children understand that their worth is not measured by applause, trophies, or rankings, but by who they choose to be when the moment passes.
Paired with his heartfelt storybook, After the Applause, Bennett offers steady companionship through disappointment, pride, reflection, and growth. This toolkit creates space for children to process big feelings around comparison, fairness, and self-trust, while reinforcing the idea that character matters long after the game is over.
Recommended for ages 3–10, and for the grown-ups helping children navigate competition with confidence and grace.
