The Worry Box

Mia is eight years old.

She has a small box under her bed.

When she feels sad or worried, she writes a short note.

Then she puts the note in the box.

Mia does not read the notes again.

She says, "The box holds my hard feelings for me." After that, she feels lighter and can play.

Her dad likes this idea, so he makes a box too.

Sometimes they write notes together at the kitchen table.

One day, Mia sees her dad put a note in his box.

She smiles and says, "We are a team." Writing feelings down helps them both.
