A bad moment
is not a bad you.
A short Tina & Tilly story and one gentle practice. Free to read, free to print.

Tina sat down right next to her. "This seat taken? Cool. I'm Tina." Tilly almost said nothing. Then she said, "Tilly." It was small. But it was a start.
Two girls. Two very different ways of being nervous. One brand-new school. This is where it begins.

One thing I can let go of today is:
Color in the star when you do it.
