A Big Step✨

I got home and felt a sudden wave of exhaustion.

Something truly wonderful happened✨

Even good things can be very tiring!

As soon as I got home,

I collapsed onto the living room floor

and fell asleep before I knew it...

***

Finally, the day has arrived!

Very carefully,

I chose my words,

In the most natural way possible,

hoping that things will progress... and,

with a prayer-like feeling,

I supported a child's first step.

I kept my senses sharp,

so that the child could,

take their own step forward... and so,

without saying too much,

without exerting too much influence,

I gently stayed by their side.

***

I was gradually gaining strength

Even so

Without rushing, without being greedy,

To build solid strength

Without overdoing it

I respected what I could do

Now is not the time to push hard

Now is still the time to gather strength

The time to push hard is,

When it is time to change!

For the sake of that day

Slowly and steadily

I have been storing up energy

The child makes the decision themselves

That day, for so long

I waited

Little by little

That day is no longer a dream

It starts to feel real

That it is right before our eyes

The person themselves and everyone else

Felt it

Even so

No one rushes them

Patiently wait for that moment!

Without rushing

Without being greedy

The child themselves starts to move

For the moment that time arrives

With patience

Without expecting too much

I waited!

***

That flow

Swayed

And rippled around them

Each time

A wavering heart

Various emotions cycle through

Starting to feel hazy

There were times I took a break

However,

It's different from before!

The energy of the heart remains unchanged

That strength is being built

Within myself

While feeling the small goals...

My own thoughts

Were being warmed within my heart...

Ahead of oneself

Leaving the nest and living happily

The presence of companions

When companions left the nest

Looking back at the scene

In that place

Trying to superimpose one's own image

Such a time has come...

The child themselves

Was feeling that sensation

Drawing the flow toward oneself

Feelings leaning toward realization

The flow supports that child

The flow is on that child's side

The words of decision

were drawn out smoothly!

That child has made

the flow their ally!

Talk to the homeroom teacher!

It seems their feelings are coming together

With perfect timing

an appointment was made during the teacher's free time

Slowly

Starting to talk about one's feelings

The homeroom teacher also

listens carefully

Choosing words, very cautiously

Keeping in step with the homeroom teacher

With the same feelings together

Supporting and facing that child

The homeroom teacher's thoughts

really come across

The homeroom teacher was cautious

But

the child's feelings

are being brought together toward realization

Just a little more

waiting for one final push

Not pushing me from behind

I want you to pull me up!

I am relying on you, teacher✨

I tossed a gentle pass

Both the teacher and that child

Caught it!

The momentum further

Favored that child

The teacher's eyes welled up with tears

The emotion just won't stop...

That figure is

You must have given that child so much

Concrete plans are moving forward

Confirming the arrangements

Everything is ready!

The flow has taken that child's side!

That child has made the flow their ally!

Opportunities

arrive unexpectedly✨

If it seems impossible

it is okay to stop

If it is too tough

It is okay to rest

It is okay to come back again

First, let's give it a try!✨

That child's voice

Brightly

As if their heart was dancing

Changed into a happy voice!

A big step✨✨✨

***

There were times when I was in a long tunnel

There were times when parent and child clashed

There were times when I clashed with my peers

We talked a lot

We discussed a lot

I explored myself a lot

Going back and forth

Moving forward and taking breaks

Even so

I was gaining strength little by little

Many people

Supporting that child

As one

Making the environment an ally

Through the child's own strength

They have walked

Wonderful growth✨

Precious

A big step✨✨✨

For the wonderful emotion

Thank you💕

Synchronized with Tenpanda-san's article!✨

I was so happy to see an article by Tenpanda-san, a clinical psychologist and licensed psychologist, that felt like a commentary on how I provided support💕😃

I would be very happy if you could read it as well✨☺️

Tenpanda-san also writes articles on positive psychology✨🤗
I feel a sense of kinship with them for sharing the same thoughts💕

⭐️Further update!⭐️

Raramiitan-san's article is also in sync!✨

This quote from Master Oogway is wonderful💖

"If you guide them from the heart, nurture them, and believe in them."

They write about the feelings parents have for their children and the importance of believing in them,
drawing lessons from "Kung Fu Panda"✨

Raramiitan-san's "Where there is a will, there is a way"
article is also truly wonderful❤️

I want to pass the baton to the children's future✨

right?💕
