Nick’s first assignment is to help Shaelyn and Alana cope with the upcoming change of moving. However, it isn’t going well so he asks the Self-Esteem Angel for help. The Self-Esteem Angel™ magically whisks Nick to Florida to engage the help of Aaron and Renee, who moved from Alberta, Canada to Florida, United States.
“Wait for a few minutes, Nick and you’ll see different colors. The neat thing about an ocean is how the colors change constantly. We can learn about change just by observing the ocean and other things in nature.”
Nick thought for a minute then responded, “Like the changes of the season and the growth cycles of plants. I get that!”
Aaron and Renee share the tools their parents used to help them look forward to the move. They share their own experiences and give practical advice to children to help them adjust to a big change like moving.
“Are the schools a lot different?” asked Nick.
“Not really, we still do fun things. There are some really cool field trips we do here that we couldn’t do in Alberta. For example, I got to go sleep overnight at Sea World,” grinned Renee.
“And I got to participate in Kids’ Town at school and go on an airboat tour with my class,” said Aaron excitedly.
Children and their families will learn that:
Change is a big part of life
We need to accept change
Find ways to cope with the different types of change
Everyone goes through changes that are big and small
How to deal with the emotions
