June and the Window That Took Time
Helpful forPatience • Frustration • Problem solving
June is excited to decorate her favorite first-floor window with shiny Valentine's Day clings from Grandma. But the glass is covered in dried mud, and cleaning it is harder than she expected. With her mom's calm presence beside her, June learns that some things take time, help, and persistence — and that waiting can be part of the solution.

For Kids
Some things take more time than you thought they would. Asking for help and trying again isn't giving up — it's how hard things get done.
For Parents
Frustration is rarely about the task — it's about effort meeting a wall. Sitting beside a child through the slow part teaches more than rescuing them or pushing them through it.
