How to be good for Santa, Inc. specializes in children’s educational and play therapy materials.

Our children’s flashcards, behavior coaching picture books, behavior education coloring and doodling activity books, gold star reward stickers, and other children’s educational materials and play therapy supplies are positive reinforcement behavioral coaching tools that help guardians coach manners, social etiquette, good citizenship, anti-bullying, relationship skills, responsible decision making, conflict resolution, goal planning and behavior tracking, handling emergency situations, and other life lessons.

Messaging is designed to educate children to be good for goodness sake, not because Santa or anyone else is watching or because presents are expected, to treat others as you want to be treated and just because others act badly is not a reason to act naughty in return.

Our play therapy materials result in children (and guardians) strengthening and expanding proper social behavior in self, family, academic, recreational, community, and public settings.

The children’s educational and play therapy materials are easy to use educational products that are perfect for parents, step-parents, grandparents, teachers, counselors, therapists, social workers, day care centers, nannies, baby sitters, and all other guardians.  The products are portable and simple to use so they can be used on the go or as bridging tools to help ensure your children are receiving positive reinforcement while in the care of other guardians.

Using our fun interactive children’s educational and play therapy materials help set expectations and establish routines.  Both children and guardians enjoy and appreciate our easy to understand products that make learning fun via wonderfully illustrated characters and expertly authored materials.
