Florence loves gymnastics and works hard to get better each week. But when she’s paired with Eliza, who isn’t at the same level, Florence feels frustrated and held back. After a moment of regret and reflection, she realises that real strength isn’t just about flips and tricks—it’s about choosing kindness, even when it costs something. This story helps girls explore empathy, humility, and what it means to use your strengths to lift others up.

Conversation Starters:
– Can you tell me about a time when you felt frustrated working with someone who wasn’t as fast or skilled as you?
– Why do you think Florence felt so conflicted?
– What do you think changed her mind?

Phrases You Could Use:
– “Kindness sometimes costs us something—but it’s always worth it.”
– “It takes real strength to help others instead of just helping ourselves.”
– “I love seeing how you grow into someone who notices others and lifts them up.”

How to Model This:
– Involve your child in helping a sibling or classmate, even when it means slowing down.
– Praise not just achievements, but character: “That was so generous of you to help her.”
– Share a story from your life when you chose to put someone else first—and what it taught you.
