Feeling sad is part of being human. We all feel sad at times. Things happen that we don’t like or don’t want to happen, but they do and they make us feel sad and it’s perfectly normal and OK. When we feel sad, we have to notice how it feels and let the sadness flow through us. If that means we cry, then that is perfectly normal too. It’s perfectly normal and natural to cry when we feel sad. That goes for everyone, including boys! Next, It’s important to talk to some about why you are sad. Who would you talk to? 🙋
