Faced with obstacles and disagreements with his friends, Axel navigates through emotions and discovers the power of understanding and kindness.
Axel and his friend Ava arrived at the park, excited to fly their kites together. It was a windy day, perfect for kite flying. Axel's kite soared high until a strong gust carried it into a tree. Axel watched, heart sinking, as his kite became stuck and unusable. His mom saw his distress and came over to check on him. - Why are you so sad, Axel? she asked with concern.
Ava's mom came over with Ava to see what had happened. - What's wrong, Axel? Ava asked, noticing his tears. Axel explained how his kite was stuck and couldn't be used anymore. Ava's mom suggested that Ava could share her kite. But Ava frowned at the idea of sharing.
Ava remembered a time when her kite had fallen into a pond and how sad she felt then. - I guess I can share my kite with you, Axel, Ava said with a small smile. Ava's mom explained how important it was to remember how others feel. - That's called empathy, and it's very important, she said gently. Axel felt a little better, knowing Ava understood his feelings.
The next day in art class, Axel and Abby were drawing with crayons. Suddenly, someone bumped the table and Axel's crayons spilled, breaking most of them. - Oh no, my crayons! Axel exclaimed, feeling upset. The art teacher came over to see what was wrong. She suggested that Axel could share crayons with Abby.
Abby hesitated because she had just gotten a new pack of crayons. - I don't want to share; these are new, Abby said, feeling protective of her crayons. The teacher reminded Abby of the importance of being kind. - Sometimes sharing is the best way to show you care, she explained. Abby thought of how she'd feel if her crayons broke.
Abby decided to let Axel use her crayons, and they drew a picture together. - Thank you, Abby, Axel said, feeling grateful. The teacher praised them both for being understanding and kind. Axel realized that Abby's kindness made him feel better about his broken crayons. He felt lucky to have such caring friends.
The following day, Axel, Ava, and Abby were in class together. The teacher began a lesson about kindness and asked for examples of kind acts. - We shared our kites and crayons with Axel, Ava and Abby shared. The teacher nodded, explaining how empathy and sympathy both lead to kindness. Axel listened, understanding more about their importance.
Axel thought about all the times he felt sad and was helped by his friends. He felt grateful but also a little overwhelmed by all he'd learned. - It's hard sometimes to know what to do, Axel admitted. The teacher introduced a new method called the pillow method. - This will help you understand different perspectives, she explained.
The teacher explained the pillow method, which has five different perspectives. - Sometimes we're both right, or both wrong, the teacher said. Axel and his friends practiced using the method with their past situations. - It helps us see things differently, Ava said, nodding in understanding. Axel felt a sense of clarity and relief.
By using the pillow method, Axel and his friends learned to solve problems together. They understood that empathy and sympathy were important in their friendships. - I'm glad we figured it out, Abby smiled. Axel felt proud of what they'd achieved. The class ended with everyone feeling a little wiser and a lot happier.
