Summary
Too often we pay attention to negative behavior and ignore the positive. We are rarely taught the benefit of positive reinforcement, and instead focus on the negative and expect automatic change.
This children's book is based on a true story as experienced by Dr. Amen himself. One day while watching a penguin named Fat Freddy take part in a stunt show at a local amusement park, he is astonished to see the penguin perform so well. Frustrated by his own son's behavior, Dr. Amen decides to talk with the trainer after the show to find out how she got the penguin to follow all of her directions. Through clever rhyme and storytelling, the trainer shares with Dr. Amen the power of positive reinforcement.
Though designed with elementary school students in mind, this story has taught people of all ages a valuable, life-changing lesson.

Short and very nice story
That was a short and very nice story to listen as an adult and it makes me feel comfortable and warm, just like a child 🥰

WHY ARE WE STILL TALKING ABOUT CAPTIVE SEA ANIMALS!
Why are we talking about sea mammals in captivity? It’s so wrong. Within 30 second we are glorifying places like sea world! Remove this. There is nothing to learn from this story #emptythetanks!
