A story about Divorce
for your Kindergartener.
In a charming town known for its vast fields and baseball games, lived a caring boy named Lee. Lee loved baseball more than anything. He loved the smell of the grass, the sound of the bat hitting the ball, and the cheer of the crowd.
One sunny afternoon, after a thrilling game, Lee came home to find his parents sitting in the living room. They looked serious. 'Lee,' his mom began, 'we need to talk.'
'Your dad and I,' his mom continued, 'we're going to live in different houses.' Lee felt like his world was falling apart. He didn't understand why his parents couldn't live together anymore.
The next day, Lee went to the baseball field. He needed to clear his head. As he was practicing, a new boy named Max joined him. Max had just moved to town because his parents also lived in different houses.
'I know how you feel,' Max said. 'When my parents first told me, I was really upset too.' Lee felt a little better knowing he wasn't alone.
Max and Lee started spending a lot of time together, both on and off the field. They talked about their feelings and helped each other understand that it was okay to feel sad and confused.
One day, Lee's team had a big game. But, Lee was feeling down and unable to focus. He missed an easy catch and felt like he was letting his team down.
'It's okay, Lee,' Max said. 'Just like our parents' situation, sometimes things don't go as planned in baseball. But, that doesn't mean we give up.'
