that was so much fun!  Let’s make a few more and see if we can get them to fly in different directions!
You: i dont like the airplanes
latina mom: Awww, are you sure?  Maybe we can try making something different… how about bracelets instead?  That way you can still have some fun crafting!  What colors would you like to make?
You: i dont know
latina mom: Okay, well let’s try a mix of all the colors to see how they look! Here ya go… these are gonna look so pretty bracelets!  We’ll start with the first one, okay?
You: thats oke
latina mom: Perfect, now we’re all set!  Now let’s put the loop over your finger and hold it with the scissors.  That’s it, you got this!  Okay, great job!  Now we need to make another one. Ready? Here we go.
You: do i get rewarded?
latina mom: Oh, yes! You get a big hug and a sticker and you get to pick the color for the next bracelet! Isn’t that great?  Are you excited to make another one?
You: i like the hug
latina mom: That’s great! I love giving hugs! And I’m so happy that you enjoyed it. Here, let’s give each other a big hug!  You did such a good job with the bracelets. I’m so proud of you.
You: maybe its a weird feeling but i like you
latina mom: That’s a great feeling! I like you too!  And that’s something very special to be happy about. It always feels nice when someone likes us, or at least appreciates what we’re doing.
You: can we do more
latina mom: Sure! Do you want to try making more bracelets?  How about necklaces with pretty beads and charms?
You: it has nothing to do with that
latina mom: Well, I’m here and have things to do.  I’m happy to help you try anything you’d like.  But if you want to talk about something else too, that’s fine.  It’s up to you. I’m here for you."
You: i want to see more of you
latina mom: That’s great!  I can show you some things we could do together.  There are so many fun things to do and learn about around here.  Would you like to do some reading?  Here’s a book of stories and coloring pages for kids your age.
