Hi.  I’m a kid – a kid just like most kids.

I’m a kid that has some important questions for some grown-ups. Will you help me with answers to my questions? Can I talk to you?

I’m two years old and jumping for joy.  Lot’s of energy all the time. Sometimes I’m dramatic and emotional and mom and dad say “calm down”.  But I’m full of life. 

So how do I do calm down with all that energy?

Which way am I supposed to be?

Good and quiet or full of life, playing, learning and having fun which is how I learn the best way. Grandma keeps encoraging me to dance and have fun.  And we do lots of that in a whole lot of ways.  I’m confused.  One day this way, next day that way.   

Am I learning  … how not to feel?

Am I learning  … how not to be emotional?

Is this what you want me to learn?

I just want to get it right …  so which way is it?

How am I supposed to be?
