Courage Digital art style

Tabitha struggles with her emotions at home, often feeling frustrated when things don't go her way. This leads to tantrums and misunderstandings with her parents. Through courage and guidance, Tabitha learns to express her feelings using her words, discovering a peaceful path to solving her problems.

Tabitha loved her home, with its bright walls and cozy corners. But sometimes, when things didn't go her way, she felt a storm brewing inside. Her toys wouldn't fit together, or her dress wouldn't button up right. " - I don't like this!" Tabitha cried, stomping her feet. Her parents looked at each other, knowing it was time to help Tabitha find a better way to express herself.

One morning, Tabitha wanted to build a tower with her blocks. But the blocks kept tumbling down. " - Why won't it stay up?" she shouted, her face turning red with frustration. Her mom came over and tried to help, but Tabitha pushed her hands away. " - I don't need help!" she insisted, crossing her arms.

Tabitha decided to draw a picture of a rainbow, but her crayons snapped. " - This is the worst!" she exclaimed, tears filling her eyes. Her dad entered the room and offered her new crayons. But Tabitha threw her paper on the floor instead. " - It's ruined now!" she yelled.

While playing dress-up, Tabitha couldn't button her favorite dress. " - It's stuck!" she shouted, tugging harder. Her mom offered to help, but Tabitha turned away. " - Leave it!" she cried, feeling the frustration bubble over. Her mom sighed, wishing Tabitha would use her words instead of getting upset.

Tabitha felt like giving up. " - Nothing ever goes right!" she mumbled, sitting on the floor. Her mom sat beside her, gently stroking her hair. " - We all have tough days," her mom said softly. Tabitha sniffed, feeling tired of the storm inside her. " - I just want it to be better," she whispered.

One afternoon, her grandma visited. She noticed Tabitha's frustration and smiled gently. " - Sometimes, we need courage to say how we feel," Grandma said. Tabitha listened as Grandma shared a story about a brave lion. " - Even lions use their words," Grandma chuckled, winking at Tabitha.

Tabitha thought about Grandma's words. That evening, when her puzzle piece wouldn't fit, she paused. " - This piece is tricky," she said aloud, surprising herself. Her dad looked up, smiling. " - How can I help?" he asked. Tabitha felt a bit of courage rising inside her.

The next day, Tabitha tried using her words again. Her dress zipper got stuck, but she took a deep breath. " - Can you help me with this?" she asked her mom. Her mom beamed with pride as she helped zip it up. Tabitha felt a warm glow in her chest.

Tabitha realized that using her words was like magic. She could ask for help and share her feelings. " - I did it!" she said, feeling proud. Her parents hugged her tight, celebrating her bravery. " - We're proud of you," they said, and Tabitha felt happier than ever.

From that day on, Tabitha kept using her words. Whenever she felt frustrated, she took a deep breath and spoke up. " - I need help," she would say, and it worked every time. Her home felt brighter and happier. Tabitha knew she had found a new kind of courage, and she was ready for anything.
