Summary
Introduction: Introduce the main character, a young child who enjoys their family, friends, and activities. Set the stage for an event where jealousy may come into play (e.g., a birthday party, school competition, or family event). The Trigger: The child starts to feel left out or upset when a friend or sibling gets praised or receives a new toy or gift. Describe the child's emotional experience—feeling jealous but not understanding why. Understanding Jealousy: The child talks to a trusted adult (parent, teacher, or older sibling) who explains that feeling jealous is normal but that it's important to understand and manage it. The adult can help the child reflect on their feelings. Finding Solutions: The adult teaches the child strategies to cope with jealousy: focusing on their own accomplishments, appreciating what they have, sharing in others’ joy, and learning patience. Resolution: The child applies these lessons and realizes that they can feel happy for others and still value their own worth. The child learns that everyone has special moments, and there’s no need to compare. Conclusion: The story ends with the child practicing their new mindset, demonstrating that they can celebrate others' successes and find joy in their own experiences.
