Dear Parents,
One morning, the bird woke up feeling grumpy and decided to walk instead of fly. Gradually, his friends joined him, and his mood improved to the point where he invited them to his home. This book highlights a natural emotional state that all children experience, causing unusual and sometimes aggressive behaviour. It emphasizes the importance of allowing space for negative emotions, understanding them, and handling them appropriately. The story also underscores the value of emotional support,showing empathy, and offering assistance, as demonstrated by the animals accompanying their bird friend.The skill of empathy and helpfulness are crucial for building a child’s psychological resilience; the more they help others, the more they feel important and strong.
When our child feels grumpy, they need our support to understand their feelings and receive the message: “We’re in this together.”
We can then offer help through play, joint activities,silent loving companionship, or more time to calm down.
