What can a child do when a best friend moves away and the friendship suddenly feels far too far away?
Hildy's best friend, Lucy, moves to Florida, and Hildy misses her so much that she becomes sad and angry. Mimi explains that life does not always give us exactly what we want, but we can choose the next best thing. She reminds Hildy that when Mimi goes home, they use video chats to see each other and Hildy can do the same with Lucy. Mimi's Strategy: When you and I want to see each other and talk to each other, we video chat. What children will learn:- Accept that some changes cannot be controlled.
- Look for a practical next best solution when circumstances change.
- Use communication to maintain an important friendship across distance.
- Turn disappointment into constructive action rather than helplessness.
Perfect for:
- Homeschool and public-school families dealing with moves or changing friendships.
- Homeschool and public-school educators discussing friendship, change, and resilience.
- Parents helping children practice staying connected with friends who relocate.
- Grandparents looking for a thoughtful story about distance and family connection. Part of the growing Mimi's Strategy series, an expanding collection of illustrated books by Linda Goudsmit that turn everyday childhood problems into opportunities to stop, think, and choose a successful strategy to solve each problem. Designed for ages 3-8, the series gives families and educators a warm, repeatable way to talk about responsibility, independence, competence, self-control, critical thinking, and family life. Learning to think strategically rather than react emotionally is a valuable skill that will empower any child throughout his or her life. Plus, I have yet to meet the child who would prefer a reprimand to a kiss. - Linda Goudsmit
