Does this sound familiar?
“But ... this wasn’t the plan.”
“What if the picnic is ruined?”
“This is NOT working!”
“NO! I don’t WANT somewhere else!”
Big feelings can arrive quickly when little plans change.
For young children, disappointment can feel enormous. Litchi’s story helps children see that it’s okay to feel angry, frustrated or disappointed — while gently showing them how to pause, breathe, calm their bodies and become open to a new plan.
Feel it. Breathe. Think. Try a new way. ❤️
