Simon serves a different therapeutic function to Tumi Tiger, which is why they do not compete, but complement each other.

Use of Prayer in Simon Sheep
- Prayer is modelled, not demanded
- Often Simon prays for the child
- Silence is also prayer
- Children may repeat, whisper, or remain quiet
What Prayer Is NOT
- Not correction
- Not moral pressure
- Not a test of faith
- If a child refuses prayer, respect it fully
