It's Not Easy Being a Lazy Bug

Reach for this book when you notice your child consistently avoiding chores, struggling to start tasks, or waiting for others to do the heavy lifting. It is perfect for those moments when 'I'll do it later' becomes the default response to every request. The story follows a little bug who prides himself on his relaxed lifestyle until he realizes that being helpful brings a different, more rewarding kind of satisfaction. This gentle narrative addresses the difference between healthy rest and chronic procrastination. By focusing on the emotional rewards of contribution, it moves away from lecturing and toward modeling the pride of a job well done. It is an ideal choice for preschoolers and early elementary students who are beginning to navigate their roles within a family or classroom community.
