Jenny would sometimes feel a bit upside down and back to front inside her body. Jenny asked her teacher why most days it felt like there was a kind side to herself – where she could help others, share her snacks and feel grateful for all that she had in the world. But at other times she felt like there was an unkind side to herself – where she felt like she was being snappy with others, not sharing anything and being angry about all the things in the world that she did not have.
Jenny felt worried about which side of her would win in life, as it felt she couldn’t control both sides at once.
Jenny’s teacher knelt down next to Jenny and said “It doesn’t always feel like we have control but the side that will win is the one that we think about the most. Focus on being kind.”
