Ann, upset

This chirpy, free spirit little princess is rarely upset. She is so chirpy that she doesn't walk, she skips, she dances, she hops all around the house. That explains the numerous scars and blue-blacks on her legs. Today, she came home really upset. Well, according to pastor Joseph Prince, "Parenting with Grace". He said that don't be too quick to offer solution and kind words. Let the child release.

That's exactly what I did. I just let her talk it all out. It was a small issue but to her, it was a big issue… Her Chinese teacher has rearranged the sitting position. So every child now has their own individual seat, no  partner beside them. Ann was super upset. She wanted her good friend to be right beside and not one seat away…hahaha, so cute (of course, cannot tell her that). After she was done pouring her heart out, sobbing, wiping her tears and mucus （一把鼻涕，一把眼泪）, I went on to explain to her.

Close friends, best friends need not be right beside us all the time. We will soon be heading home and we have to leave friends behind. Once a best friend always a best friend, no matter where we go, no matter where we are.
