Trooper’s story supports social-emotional learning by helping children explore:
• Patience – understanding that good things take time
• Empathy – recognizing feelings in others, even when they’re quiet
• Kindness – learning that everyone deserves care and understanding
• Hope – believing that circumstances can changeTrooper teaches children that waiting does not mean being forgotten — and that kindness can be a powerful form of courage.
Ask your child:
“How do you think Trooper felt while he waited?”
“How can we show kindness to someone who feels left out?”
