Kaden and the First Day Surprise
Join Kaden, a young boy with Level 1 autism, as he navigates the challenges of starting at a new school. With his trusty coping strategies and the support of a kind teacher, he discovers that even the toughest days can end with a pleasant surprise.
The Johnson family was bustling with morning energy in their cozy suburban home. Kaden, with his large black-framed glasses, was feeling a bit anxious. It was his first day at a new school, and the thought made his tummy flutter. Meanwhile, Mom was busy getting Maya and Zoey ready for their day. Kaden kept fidgeting with his favorite toy, trying to calm his nerves.
As they sat for breakfast, Kaden voiced his worry. - What if it's too loud or busy, Mom? he asked. Mom smiled reassuringly. - You'll have your fidget toy and remember to ask for quiet time if you need it. Kaden nodded, still feeling the jitters in his stomach.
On the way to school, Kaden noticed the streets were bustling with activity. The closer they got, the more nervous he felt. - Mom, what if I don't make any friends? he said quietly.
The school was big and filled with kids laughing and chatting. As Kaden stepped inside, the noise was overwhelming. He covered his ears, feeling like a storm was swirling around him. - It's okay, just breathe, he reminded himself.
Kaden's first class was math, but it was hard to focus with so much chatter around. He felt lost, unable to grasp the teacher's instructions clearly. - Can I have some quiet time? he asked, but his voice was drowned out by the noise.
During recess, Kaden felt like he didn't fit in. He wanted to join a game, but was too scared to ask. - Maybe they'll laugh at me, he thought, sitting by himself with his fidget toy.
Back in class, Kaden tried his best to follow the lessons, but the noise was too much. He felt overwhelmed and wished he could just be invisible. - I can't do this, he thought, feeling defeated.
At lunch, Kaden sat quietly, not touching his food. He felt like giving up and just going home. - Maybe I don't belong here, he sighed, feeling a lump in his throat.
Just then, a kind teacher noticed Kaden's distress and sat beside him. - I heard you like puzzles, she said with a smile. - We have a special puzzle station in the classroom. Kaden's eyes lit up.
With newfound courage, Kaden tackled the rest of the day. He finished the day at the puzzle station, feeling proud of himself. - I did it, he whispered, smiling at the pieces fitting perfectly together.
That evening, Kaden shared his day with his family. Mom hugged him tightly. - I'm so proud of you, she said. They all snuggled with their dog Shadow, feeling grateful and loved.
