Look at this story.
Georgia was crying with tears coming down her cheeks.
I approached her and asked her what happened.
She told me that Amelia wanted her to apologise to Amelia three times.
Georgia apologised three times but Amelia rejected all her apologies.
I then told Georgia that she is a kind person because she apologised three times to Amelia. If Amelia rejected her apologies, the problem is not in her but in Amelia.
I also asked Georgia whether she agreed with my statement that she is a kind person.
Georgia nodded her head and said yes in between of her sobbing.
I explained to Georgia that Amelia was rude to her by rejecting her apologies based on Amelia’s requests.
I said to Georgia, ”You do not deserve to be treated rudely by Amelia.”
I tapped my left shoulder using my right hand and then said, ”Georgia, you are a kind person.” After that I told Georgia to tap her shoulder and say to herself, ”Georgia, you are a kind person.”
Georgia tapped her shoulder and said, ”Georgia, you are a kind person.”
I also told Georgia to tap her shoulder and say to herself, ”Georgia, you do not deserve to be treated rudely by Amelia.”
Georgia did what I advised her to do.
I then asked Georgia, ”Do you feel better now?”
Georgia nodded her head and I saw that her sob went down a lot.
I then encouraged Georgia to pick a fun activity to do.
Georgia then told me that she wanted to build walls using plastic building toys.
Georgia’s facial expressions showed me that she completely forgot about her problem.
She played enthusiastically and smiling when I was building the walls together with her.
