Leo's First Crush
Leo, an 8-year-old boy, experiences his first crush and is confused by his feelings. With his older sister's guidance, he learns to navigate his emotions and discovers wisdom in understanding his heart.
Leo was playing in the garden when he noticed his heart racing. It happened every time he saw his classmate, Mia. Leo didn't understand these new feelings and it made him anxious. He wondered if something was wrong with him. His mind was full of questions, and he didn't know whom to ask. " - Why does my heart feel like it's doing flips?" Leo murmured to himself.
The next day at school, Leo tried to talk to Mia, but his words got jumbled. " - Hi, M-Mia," he stammered, feeling his cheeks turn red. Mia smiled, but Leo could only manage a wave before running off. " - Why is it so hard to talk to her?" Leo thought, sitting alone during recess. He felt embarrassed and unsure of his feelings.
Back home, Leo decided to write a letter to Mia. He wanted to explain his feelings but didn't know how to start. As he stared at the blank page, frustration grew. " - Maybe a letter is too much," Leo sighed, crumpling the paper. He felt like he was failing at every attempt to understand his emotions.
Leo tried to ignore his feelings, hoping they would go away. He focused on playing with his dog and doing his homework. But every time he saw Mia at school, the feelings came rushing back. " - I can't stop thinking about her," Leo admitted to himself. It was like trying to catch a butterfly that kept flying away.
Frustrated, Leo confided in his older sister, Emma. " - I don't understand why I feel this way," Leo told her. Emma listened carefully and smiled. " - It's okay, Leo. You're just experiencing a crush," she explained gently. Emma's words were like a light bulb going off in Leo's mind.
Emma decided to help Leo understand his feelings better. She shared stories about her own first crush and how she handled it. " - It's important to be honest with yourself," Emma advised. Leo felt a wave of relief knowing he wasn't alone. He felt ready to face his feelings with newfound courage.
The next day, Leo approached Mia with confidence. " - Hi, Mia," he said, smiling warmly. He felt calm as he talked about their favorite books and games. Mia laughed and talked back, making Leo's heart flutter with joy. Leo realized that being himself was enough.
Leo felt proud of himself for being honest and brave. He learned that understanding his feelings was the key to wisdom. " - Thanks for the advice, Emma," Leo said, hugging his sister. With a happy heart, Leo enjoyed the beautiful day with Mia and his friends. The garden felt more vibrant and full of life than ever before.
