14
00:00:35,400 --> 00:00:36,120
Speaker 2: Lewis story.

15
00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:41,199
Speaker 1: Hey friends, this is part two of Levice's read. If

16
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:43,920
Speaker 1: you haven't listened to part one, head over there, listen

17
00:00:43,920 --> 00:00:46,440
Speaker 1: to that episode first, and then come back and join

18
00:00:46,520 --> 00:00:51,920
Speaker 1: me on this one. Levi, It's okay, said Ivy, trying

19
00:00:51,920 --> 00:00:54,480
Speaker 1: to reassure her brother. I felt the same way you

20
00:00:54,520 --> 00:00:56,840
Speaker 1: do now when I looked into the mirror and my face.

21
00:00:56,720 --> 00:00:57,360
Speaker 2: Was all blue.

22
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:01,160
Speaker 1: That's because of the expression feeling blu which means someone

23
00:01:01,200 --> 00:01:05,119
Speaker 1: is feeling down or sad. But everything turned out fine.

24
00:01:05,520 --> 00:01:09,800
Speaker 1: Look at me now, no more blue face. She reached

25
00:01:09,880 --> 00:01:11,520
Speaker 1: up and grabbed a hold of the mirror, making sure

26
00:01:11,600 --> 00:01:14,520
Speaker 1: Levi didn't drop it. He started to calm down, feeling

27
00:01:14,560 --> 00:01:16,360
Speaker 1: better that his sister was by his side and that

28
00:01:16,480 --> 00:01:20,000
Speaker 1: she had been through all of this before. Okay, so

29
00:01:20,120 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: my face looks like a giant strawberry, and that's okay,

30
00:01:24,600 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 1: whispered Levi to himself.

31
00:01:26,319 --> 00:01:28,360
Speaker 3: What do I do now, Ivy.

32
00:01:28,480 --> 00:01:30,560
Speaker 1: Ivy then explained to her brother what she did when

33
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,760
Speaker 1: she used the mirror. She told him how she realized

34
00:01:32,760 --> 00:01:34,600
Speaker 1: the color change in her face was due to her

35
00:01:34,600 --> 00:01:36,960
Speaker 1: emotions and that it would probably be the best to

36
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:38,920
Speaker 1: think of each thing that made her sad over the

37
00:01:38,920 --> 00:01:41,479
Speaker 1: week and try to work through each situation in her head,

38
00:01:42,280 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: trying to figure out if she could have done something different,

39
00:01:44,760 --> 00:01:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, and gotten a different outcome. Ivy tried to

40
00:01:48,080 --> 00:01:50,440
Speaker 1: think of something good that came out of each situation,

41
00:01:50,560 --> 00:01:53,560
Speaker 1: even though it resulted in her being sad. She also

42
00:01:53,640 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: tried to see if there was maybe a miscommunication somewhere

43
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,520
Speaker 1: which caused the problem. Once she went through all the

44
00:01:59,560 --> 00:02:02,559
Speaker 1: differences situations in her head, concentrating on making each one

45
00:02:02,600 --> 00:02:05,280
Speaker 1: better and figuring out what about that made her sad

46
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: in the first place. The blue color on her face faded,

47
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:10,040
Speaker 1: and she was left with a bunch of strategies to

48
00:02:10,160 --> 00:02:13,560
Speaker 1: use the next time she felt sad. So now I'm

49
00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:15,680
Speaker 1: gonna sit here and think about each of the things

50
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,679
Speaker 1: that happened to Camp that got me mad, asked Levi.

51
00:02:19,400 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: I don't know if I want to do that, I'll

52
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,920
Speaker 1: just be more upset. And as Levi said that, he

53
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,040
Speaker 1: saw his face getting redder and redder in the mirror's reflection. LEVI,

54
00:02:29,240 --> 00:02:32,800
Speaker 1: you have to try and calm down, urged Ivy. The

55
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,560
Speaker 1: mirror can't help you if you don't try and help yourself.

56
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,000
Speaker 1: Levi watched his face turn a brighter red, and he

57
00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:41,840
Speaker 1: knew he had to do something about it. Red was

58
00:02:41,840 --> 00:02:44,919
Speaker 1: one of his favorite colors, and he loved tomatoes and strawberries,

59
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:47,600
Speaker 1: but he didn't need to look like them, and more importantly,

60
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,960
Speaker 1: he had to learn to get control of his emotions.

61
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: Ivy then suggested he take some deep breaths.

62
00:02:54,320 --> 00:02:56,280
Speaker 3: You know what, why don't we take some deep breaths

63
00:02:56,360 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 3: with Levi? Can we do that? Take three big breasts?

64
00:02:59,200 --> 00:03:12,799
Speaker 1: Ready, friends, great job, Let's continue on with the story.

65
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:16,760
Speaker 1: This always works for me, Levi, said Ivy. Anytime I

66
00:03:16,840 --> 00:03:19,520
Speaker 1: feel big emotions like sadness or anger. I close my

67
00:03:19,560 --> 00:03:22,200
Speaker 1: eyes and take a few deep breaths. It really helps

68
00:03:22,240 --> 00:03:24,200
Speaker 1: to calm your mind. And when your mind is calm,

69
00:03:24,560 --> 00:03:27,960
Speaker 1: then you can think better and make choices. Leeb I

70
00:03:28,000 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 1: listened to Ivy, closed his eyes and took a few

71
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:33,360
Speaker 1: deep breaths. He could feel himself calming down, and when

72
00:03:33,400 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: he opened his eyes, he noticed that the red color

73
00:03:35,440 --> 00:03:38,960
Speaker 1: on his face had faded slightly. Now that you're a

74
00:03:38,960 --> 00:03:41,440
Speaker 1: bit calmer, let's start with you thinking about the first

75
00:03:41,440 --> 00:03:44,120
Speaker 1: thing that happened at camp that made you mad, said Ivy.

76
00:03:45,360 --> 00:03:47,080
Speaker 1: That would be when I was supposed to pitch at

77
00:03:47,120 --> 00:03:49,840
Speaker 1: the baseball game. I didn't get to because my counselor

78
00:03:49,880 --> 00:03:52,120
Speaker 1: was being mean and didn't tell the counselor filling in

79
00:03:52,160 --> 00:03:55,000
Speaker 1: for him that he promised me I could, said Levis.

80
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:56,120
Speaker 3: His face got redder.

81
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,720
Speaker 1: Now, Levi, you're getting all worked up again, said I.

82
00:04:00,720 --> 00:04:03,560
Speaker 1: I can tell you're mad because you called your counselor me.

83
00:04:04,560 --> 00:04:07,200
Speaker 1: Those are your emotions coming out in a negative.

84
00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:09,160
Speaker 3: Way, Well, he is me.

85
00:04:09,520 --> 00:04:12,320
Speaker 1: Why wouldn't he tell the other counselor that he promised

86
00:04:12,320 --> 00:04:14,600
Speaker 1: me I could pitch if he knew he wasn't going

87
00:04:14,640 --> 00:04:16,800
Speaker 1: to be at the game, grumbled Levi, with a scowl

88
00:04:16,880 --> 00:04:20,640
Speaker 1: on his face. You have it all wrong, said Ivy.

89
00:04:20,760 --> 00:04:23,160
Speaker 1: Did you bother to ask where your counselor was before

90
00:04:23,200 --> 00:04:26,960
Speaker 1: getting upset. One strategy that's good to use in situations

91
00:04:27,040 --> 00:04:29,720
Speaker 1: is seeing things from another person's point of view. If

92
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:31,360
Speaker 1: you did that, you would have found out that your

93
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:34,039
Speaker 1: counselor was in the doctor's tent that day because he

94
00:04:34,080 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: got stung by a bee and he's allergic to them,

95
00:04:36,560 --> 00:04:39,040
Speaker 1: So he probably wasn't thinking about you pitching, because I

96
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:42,680
Speaker 1: bet he was pretty scared. Ivy knew all of this

97
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:44,920
Speaker 1: because she helped out at the doctor's tent as part

98
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: of a first day bad. She was working on a

99
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:52,320
Speaker 1: camp that summer. Oh no, I had no idea that happened,

100
00:04:52,600 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: said Levi. He was back the next day and I

101
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 1: didn't even think to ask about what happened, because you

102
00:04:59,600 --> 00:05:01,160
Speaker 1: were mad, said Ivy.

103
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 3: Levi nodded his head.

104
00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:06,200
Speaker 1: That made him feel pretty bad to know he created

105
00:05:06,200 --> 00:05:09,080
Speaker 1: a story in his head about his counselor that wasn't

106
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:11,919
Speaker 1: true all because he was too upset to talk it

107
00:05:11,960 --> 00:05:14,640
Speaker 1: out with him. He then thought how he would feel

108
00:05:14,680 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: if that were him. Hey, friends, do you ever find

109
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,400
Speaker 1: that sometimes we focus too much on what's going on

110
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,159
Speaker 1: in our own emotions and in our own world that

111
00:05:24,279 --> 00:05:27,320
Speaker 1: we forget that people outside of that are also.

112
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:29,719
Speaker 3: Dealing with things. Because I know I do.

113
00:05:30,120 --> 00:05:33,960
Speaker 1: It's pretty hard, but I think Ivy's making a really

114
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:38,320
Speaker 1: good point here. Levi thought a little more about the

115
00:05:38,320 --> 00:05:40,640
Speaker 1: game too. Instead of shaking it off and moving on

116
00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:43,080
Speaker 1: after he couldn't pitch, he let his bad mood effect

117
00:05:43,120 --> 00:05:45,679
Speaker 1: how he played that day. He struck out and played

118
00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,160
Speaker 1: poorly on the field because he let his emotions take over.

119
00:05:48,800 --> 00:05:51,000
Speaker 1: Playing the way he did not only made him feel

120
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,720
Speaker 1: more upset, and what he was starting to realize was

121
00:05:53,760 --> 00:05:56,560
Speaker 1: that he had control over the way he feels, and

122
00:05:56,640 --> 00:05:58,960
Speaker 1: why would he ever choose to do something that makes

123
00:05:59,040 --> 00:06:03,719
Speaker 1: him feel mad or set. This is helpful, Ivy, but

124
00:06:03,839 --> 00:06:07,480
Speaker 1: I really feel bad now. I didn't ask what was

125
00:06:07,520 --> 00:06:09,560
Speaker 1: wrong with my counselor or why he missed the game,

126
00:06:09,680 --> 00:06:12,120
Speaker 1: said Levi. My counselor is great, and I wish I

127
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:13,400
Speaker 1: could tell him that right now.

128
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:16,320
Speaker 3: That's great, Levi.

129
00:06:16,560 --> 00:06:19,560
Speaker 1: Explained, Ivy, you're learning the mirror is working.

130
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 3: Look.

131
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:22,599
Speaker 1: Levi looked in the mirror and noticed that his face

132
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:25,800
Speaker 1: didn't look quite as red anymore. He smiled a little,

133
00:06:25,960 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: knowing that the next day at camp he would go

134
00:06:27,720 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: and talk with his counselor. Talking to your counselor would

135
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,440
Speaker 1: be great. That way, you can explain how you were

136
00:06:33,440 --> 00:06:35,520
Speaker 1: feeling and make sure he knows that you were thinking

137
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: about him.

138
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 3: Exclaimed Ivy.

139
00:06:38,320 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: Next, Levi turned his attention toward the rainy day at

140
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,640
Speaker 1: camp when he was so excited to play air hockey

141
00:06:42,640 --> 00:06:45,839
Speaker 1: with his friends. But the table is broken. He could

142
00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: once again feel himself starting to get upset, but instead

143
00:06:48,600 --> 00:06:51,160
Speaker 1: of letting his emotions take over, Levi closed his eyes

144
00:06:51,200 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: and took a few deep breaths. Good job, Levi, whispered Ivy,

145
00:06:55,520 --> 00:06:59,440
Speaker 1: cheering on her brother for working so hard. I'm thinking

146
00:06:59,440 --> 00:07:01,719
Speaker 1: about the air hockey table being broken and how it

147
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:03,440
Speaker 1: made me feel, explained Levi.

148
00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 3: Why did it have to be broken?

149
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:09,360
Speaker 1: It ruined my whole plan for a fun, rainy afternoon

150
00:07:09,400 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: at camp with my friends. I was really looking forward

151
00:07:12,240 --> 00:07:14,520
Speaker 1: to it, and after the baseball game, I really needed

152
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: something to go right. Levi then sat and thought for

153
00:07:17,080 --> 00:07:20,320
Speaker 1: a minute or two before shaking his head. I think

154
00:07:20,360 --> 00:07:22,960
Speaker 1: it was just a bad situation, Ivy. I don't think

155
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:25,160
Speaker 1: I can learn anything from it, and I couldn't have

156
00:07:25,200 --> 00:07:27,880
Speaker 1: handled it any differently, said Levi as he stared into

157
00:07:27,880 --> 00:07:30,760
Speaker 1: the mirror. I mean it just kept getting worse after

158
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:32,960
Speaker 1: he found out the tables broken, I just sat around

159
00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:37,280
Speaker 1: and did nothing for the rest of the afternoon. Ivy

160
00:07:37,320 --> 00:07:39,120
Speaker 1: was searching for something to say to Levi. Win a

161
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:41,920
Speaker 1: light bulb went off in her head. So you and

162
00:07:41,960 --> 00:07:44,200
Speaker 1: your friends all just sat around for the rest of

163
00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:47,400
Speaker 1: the afternoon and did nothing, asked Ivy, knowing what the

164
00:07:47,440 --> 00:07:50,400
Speaker 1: answer would be. Levi nodded his head and then quickly

165
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 1: remembered something. No, they played board games, answered Levi. So

166
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,440
Speaker 1: you chose to sit and do nothing for the rest

167
00:07:58,480 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: of the afternoon, not to play with your friends, and

168
00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:04,120
Speaker 1: you let your emotions went out and caused you to

169
00:08:04,120 --> 00:08:07,400
Speaker 1: have a bad rest of the day, stated Ivy. It

170
00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:09,080
Speaker 1: was then that the light bulb went off, and Levi

171
00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:11,560
Speaker 1: said as well. He never thought of it that way.

172
00:08:12,800 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: You're right, he said to Ivy. My friends all looked

173
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: like they were having a great time even though the

174
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:20,880
Speaker 1: air hockey table was broken. It should have made me

175
00:08:20,880 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 1: feel happy for them, but instead it only made me

176
00:08:22,760 --> 00:08:25,680
Speaker 1: more upset. It's a weird feeling to be mad at

177
00:08:25,720 --> 00:08:28,160
Speaker 1: someone for having a good time, said Ivy. But that's

178
00:08:28,200 --> 00:08:31,040
Speaker 1: exactly what happened. You were mad that they were able

179
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:33,320
Speaker 1: to move on from their disappointment after finding out the

180
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:35,920
Speaker 1: air hockey table was broken and still make the most

181
00:08:35,920 --> 00:08:41,120
Speaker 1: of their afternoon. That's it, exactly, said Levi. They even

182
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 1: asked me to play with them, and I said no,

183
00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: and I just walked off to pout and be upset.

184
00:08:45,320 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 1: I let the whole afternoon go by and missed out

185
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: on a ton of fun with my friends. Should have

186
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:52,000
Speaker 1: just realized that there were still lots of fun things

187
00:08:52,040 --> 00:08:56,920
Speaker 1: to do that we could have done that afternoon. That's it,

188
00:08:57,360 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: said Ivy. Just changing the way you look at a

189
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:03,120
Speaker 1: situation sometimes can really help. You could have just looked

190
00:09:03,160 --> 00:09:05,840
Speaker 1: around and saw all the other options in the camp. Paul,

191
00:09:06,080 --> 00:09:10,040
Speaker 1: next time you're in a similar situation, he'll do that.

192
00:09:10,040 --> 00:09:13,400
Speaker 1: That's really good advice, Ivy, Levi said, agreeing to a sister.

193
00:09:13,800 --> 00:09:16,719
Speaker 1: Next time I'm upset or disappointed because something didn't go

194
00:09:16,840 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: my way, I can look around and see what other

195
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:22,240
Speaker 1: options I have instead of letting that opportunity go by

196
00:09:22,280 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: and waste my time being upset and alone. Levi smiled

197
00:09:26,440 --> 00:09:28,880
Speaker 1: and took another look at himself in the mirror. He

198
00:09:28,880 --> 00:09:32,200
Speaker 1: could now see that his face was just a light pink,

199
00:09:32,559 --> 00:09:35,319
Speaker 1: no more tomato red. It was obvious that talking things

200
00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 1: out with Ivy was really helping. He was collecting so

201
00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,120
Speaker 1: many good strategies to help him in the future when

202
00:09:41,160 --> 00:09:45,360
Speaker 1: something popped up that could make him upset. Now on

203
00:09:45,559 --> 00:09:47,720
Speaker 1: to the last thing that made you upset, said Ivy.

204
00:09:49,760 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: Levi I took another deep breath and started talking about

205
00:09:52,120 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: the candy pudding incident. He was just so sure his

206
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: friend was going to vote for candy pudding that even

207
00:09:58,520 --> 00:10:03,400
Speaker 1: right then, he still couldn't understand why he didn't Connor

208
00:10:03,480 --> 00:10:05,920
Speaker 1: voted for candy putting with me. Why didn't Al do

209
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: it too, asked Levi. He promised he would. Well, that

210
00:10:11,240 --> 00:10:13,680
Speaker 1: is one thing I don't have an answer for, said Ivy.

211
00:10:14,840 --> 00:10:17,480
Speaker 1: You'd have to ask Al that question. In fact, you

212
00:10:17,480 --> 00:10:20,200
Speaker 1: should have asked Al that day. Maybe his answer would

213
00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,080
Speaker 1: have helped you to not be so upset with him.

214
00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:25,800
Speaker 3: I guess you're right.

215
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:28,240
Speaker 1: I let my emotions win again, But this time I

216
00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:33,000
Speaker 1: yelled at someone, actually two people, Alan, one of the counselors.

217
00:10:34,200 --> 00:10:36,120
Speaker 3: Wow, now that I see that out, Wow, this is

218
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:36,840
Speaker 3: really not.

219
00:10:36,840 --> 00:10:39,680
Speaker 1: Like me at all, said Levi, replaying the situation in

220
00:10:39,720 --> 00:10:43,360
Speaker 1: his head. Maybe you should call Al find out why

221
00:10:43,360 --> 00:10:46,280
Speaker 1: he changed his mind, said Ivy. I think it would help.

222
00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:48,760
Speaker 1: Your face is still just a little red, so the

223
00:10:48,760 --> 00:10:50,840
Speaker 1: mirror is letting you know that you haven't learned all

224
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:54,880
Speaker 1: you can about dealing with this emotion. Levi agreed, and

225
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,400
Speaker 1: he and Ivy left the treehouse to go back inside

226
00:10:57,440 --> 00:11:01,440
Speaker 1: and give his friend Ali call. The phone rang only

227
00:11:01,440 --> 00:11:04,480
Speaker 1: once before Al answered, LEVI was surprised when you started

228
00:11:04,520 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 1: talking to his friend, and Al seemed a little nervous. Hey, Levi,

229
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:10,480
Speaker 1: you're not calling to yell at me again, are you?

230
00:11:11,160 --> 00:11:13,040
Speaker 1: Asked Al, standing a bit unsure if he wanted to

231
00:11:13,040 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: continue with the call. Oh gosh, no, exclaimed Levi. No way,

232
00:11:17,760 --> 00:11:20,760
Speaker 1: not at all, the exact opposite. Actually, I'm calling to

233
00:11:20,840 --> 00:11:24,079
Speaker 1: apologize for yelling at you today, but also to find

234
00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,440
Speaker 1: out why you told me you'd vote for candy Pudding

235
00:11:26,480 --> 00:11:31,160
Speaker 1: and then switched at the last minute. First, thanks for apologizing,

236
00:11:31,200 --> 00:11:33,960
Speaker 1: and second, if I'm being totally honest, I only said

237
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:36,400
Speaker 1: I'd vote for candy Pudding because when you asked me,

238
00:11:36,440 --> 00:11:38,679
Speaker 1: you seemed kind of mad, and I didn't want to

239
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:42,800
Speaker 1: upset you anymore, replied Al. Levi couldn't believe what he

240
00:11:42,840 --> 00:11:45,200
Speaker 1: was hearing. He didn't think he seemed upset or mad

241
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,240
Speaker 1: to other people when he was talking to Al. He

242
00:11:47,280 --> 00:11:49,880
Speaker 1: couldn't believe how his emotions could affect his interactions with

243
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:53,400
Speaker 1: other people. Until then, Levi thought his emotions really only

244
00:11:53,400 --> 00:11:59,679
Speaker 1: affected him. I'm really sorry, said Levi. It's okay. I

245
00:11:59,720 --> 00:12:02,320
Speaker 1: know you're sorry, and we all get mad and upset

246
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: from time to time, said al. It's just that you

247
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:07,400
Speaker 1: know how much I love s'mores and I haven't been

248
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,040
Speaker 1: able to eat them all summer because of my braces. Then,

249
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:12,040
Speaker 1: I told just the other day that I was super

250
00:12:12,040 --> 00:12:14,160
Speaker 1: excited to choose smores for a snack when our group

251
00:12:14,200 --> 00:12:16,199
Speaker 1: got the chance because I got my braces taken off

252
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:21,640
Speaker 1: yesterday afternoon. Wow, I totally forgot about that, said Levi.

253
00:12:22,280 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 3: I'm sorry.

254
00:12:22,960 --> 00:12:25,480
Speaker 1: I should have just asked you why you voted for smores.

255
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: Then I could have avoided being upset with you, and

256
00:12:27,320 --> 00:12:30,120
Speaker 1: we could have just enjoyed our smores together. Even though

257
00:12:30,120 --> 00:12:34,000
Speaker 1: they're no candy pudding, s'mores are still pretty delicious. I

258
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: know I was surprised you didn't eat one today.

259
00:12:36,480 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 3: Said al I.

260
00:12:38,120 --> 00:12:40,160
Speaker 1: Was just so upset because of a bunch of things

261
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:43,160
Speaker 1: that happened that week that I wasn't even hungry, not

262
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,280
Speaker 1: even for an oohe gooey chocolate e marshmallowyesmore, said Levi.

263
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:51,240
Speaker 1: Weird how your emotions can change your whole day. That's

264
00:12:51,240 --> 00:12:53,360
Speaker 1: why in the future I'm going to remember a really

265
00:12:53,400 --> 00:12:55,960
Speaker 1: good piece of advice I heard. You can't let your

266
00:12:55,960 --> 00:13:00,880
Speaker 1: emotions control you. You have to control your emotions. Levi

267
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:02,760
Speaker 1: looked at Ivy as he said that and gave her

268
00:13:02,760 --> 00:13:06,319
Speaker 1: a big smile, thanking her for the great advice. Alan

269
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:08,720
Speaker 1: Levi talked for another minute and said they would go

270
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:11,160
Speaker 1: canoeing the next day at camp and both looked forward

271
00:13:11,160 --> 00:13:14,439
Speaker 1: to having a great rest of the summer together. Now

272
00:13:14,600 --> 00:13:16,880
Speaker 1: that was a helpful phone call, said Ivy as she

273
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: held the mirror up to Levi's one last time so

274
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,679
Speaker 1: he could see that his face was back to its

275
00:13:20,720 --> 00:13:26,080
Speaker 1: normal color. No more tomato face, No more tomato face.

276
00:13:26,240 --> 00:13:30,640
Speaker 1: Bigg o, Levi, Thank you so much, Ivy. This mirror

277
00:13:30,640 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: and your advice helped me so much to work through

278
00:13:32,920 --> 00:13:35,880
Speaker 1: my emotions. Tomorrow at camp will be a whole new day.

279
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: I have a few other people that I have to

280
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:41,000
Speaker 1: apologize to and then moving forward, I'll be able to

281
00:13:41,080 --> 00:13:43,560
Speaker 1: use everything I learned with you to better manage my

282
00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: emotions when something gets me upset. That's so great to hear, Levi,

283
00:13:48,400 --> 00:13:51,640
Speaker 1: said Ivy, giving her brother a hug. And the next

284
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:54,960
Speaker 1: person I'd like to apologize too. After al his dad

285
00:13:55,240 --> 00:13:57,920
Speaker 1: said Levi, I wasn't acting too nice when I got

286
00:13:57,920 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: home this afternoon. Let's go find him. Ivy could not

287
00:14:01,559 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: have been happier. She took her mirror put it back

288
00:14:03,960 --> 00:14:06,080
Speaker 1: in her room, ready to be used again if she

289
00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:10,839
Speaker 1: or Levi needed it. Levi. Ivy called her dad from

290
00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:13,120
Speaker 1: the kitchen, come over here, I have a snack for you.

291
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:16,679
Speaker 1: Once they walked into the kitchen, Levi gave his dad

292
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,240
Speaker 1: a big hug and apologized for the way he acted.

293
00:14:19,280 --> 00:14:21,800
Speaker 1: When he got home, he told his dad what a

294
00:14:21,840 --> 00:14:24,000
Speaker 1: great help Ivy was and how he talked about what

295
00:14:24,040 --> 00:14:26,600
Speaker 1: made thematic camp and discovered ways to deal with similar

296
00:14:26,600 --> 00:14:30,920
Speaker 1: situations better in the future. Ivy really helped me see

297
00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:33,760
Speaker 1: how important it is to communicate with others when you're upset,

298
00:14:33,960 --> 00:14:37,800
Speaker 1: instead of assuming you know their situation, said Levi. She

299
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,040
Speaker 1: taught me how emotions can change the way you act.

300
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,840
Speaker 1: And even affect other people. And she taught me it's

301
00:14:43,880 --> 00:14:46,320
Speaker 1: okay to have a strong emotion, but we have to

302
00:14:46,360 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 1: control them and not let them control us.

303
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,600
Speaker 2: That's some really good advice.

304
00:14:51,680 --> 00:14:54,680
Speaker 1: Ivy said her dad, Thank you for helping Levi so much.

305
00:14:55,320 --> 00:14:58,600
Speaker 1: No problem, Dad, said Ivy, giving Levi a smile. I

306
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:00,440
Speaker 1: guess you can say when it comes to to dealing

307
00:15:00,520 --> 00:15:05,400
Speaker 1: with my emotions, I'm kind of magic. Levi told his

308
00:15:05,480 --> 00:15:07,200
Speaker 1: dad how he planned to go to camp the next

309
00:15:07,240 --> 00:15:10,200
Speaker 1: day and apologize to everyone he interacted with when he

310
00:15:10,240 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: was upset over the last few days. I think that's

311
00:15:13,640 --> 00:15:16,280
Speaker 1: a great idea, said Levi's dad, so proud of the

312
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 1: way his son was handling the situation and taking responsibility

313
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:23,240
Speaker 1: for the way he acted. Being mad or sad or

314
00:15:23,320 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 1: upset about something isn't wrong, but sometimes the way we

315
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,800
Speaker 1: react to those emotions can be. Levi and Ivy's dad

316
00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,600
Speaker 1: knew his kids would figure out a way to work

317
00:15:32,640 --> 00:15:35,640
Speaker 1: through these emotions, so while they talked, he prepared a

318
00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 1: little something, a tasty treat to celebrate Levi getting back

319
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,760
Speaker 1: to his usual, happy and positive self, something he knew

320
00:15:42,840 --> 00:15:47,160
Speaker 1: Levi would really appreciate. I have a surprise for you. Too,

321
00:15:47,520 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: said Levi and Ivy's dad. You did a lot of

322
00:15:50,120 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: good work just now, and I bet you both worked

323
00:15:52,520 --> 00:15:53,840
Speaker 1: up a little appetite.

324
00:15:54,040 --> 00:15:55,720
Speaker 3: How about some.

325
00:15:56,960 --> 00:15:58,280
Speaker 2: Is that candy pudding?

326
00:15:58,880 --> 00:16:01,840
Speaker 1: Exclaimed Levi with a huge smile on his face. It

327
00:16:01,880 --> 00:16:05,280
Speaker 1: is enjoy said Levi's dad, placing a bullet putting in

328
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:07,000
Speaker 1: front of each of his kids and a few different

329
00:16:07,000 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: candy toppings for them to choose from to go on top.

330
00:16:10,280 --> 00:16:12,720
Speaker 1: That day, Levi learned how powerful your emotions can be,

331
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:15,680
Speaker 1: how they can affect you and others around you, and

332
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: how it is perfectly okay to have them because sometimes

333
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,360
Speaker 1: people get mad, sometimes people get sad, but it is

334
00:16:23,400 --> 00:16:26,680
Speaker 1: important that no matter what you're feeling, you try to

335
00:16:26,720 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 1: work out those problems and learn from it. You can

336
00:16:29,720 --> 00:16:32,040
Speaker 1: do this by talking with family or friends, or with

337
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,600
Speaker 1: the person who's involved in the situation. Communication is key,

338
00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:38,400
Speaker 1: and it always helps to be honest with yourself and others.

339
00:16:39,280 --> 00:16:42,520
Speaker 1: By developing strategies to help deal with big emotions, you

340
00:16:42,560 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 1: can potentially turn a negative situation into a positive one.

341
00:16:47,120 --> 00:16:49,240
Speaker 1: So the next day at camp, Levi played with Connor

342
00:16:49,280 --> 00:16:51,520
Speaker 1: and al and apologized to his friends who he got

343
00:16:51,520 --> 00:16:54,680
Speaker 1: mad at. After the air hockey table was broken, He

344
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: played baseball and volleyball.

345
00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:57,800
Speaker 3: He ate snacks and canute on the lake.

346
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:00,640
Speaker 1: He also apologized to the counselor that wrote him up

347
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,000
Speaker 1: for yelling at al and checked on his counselors to

348
00:17:03,040 --> 00:17:04,119
Speaker 1: make sure he was okay.

349
00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:07,000
Speaker 3: After his beasting that summer, leve I.

350
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:08,680
Speaker 1: Learned that he would have to deal with his big

351
00:17:08,720 --> 00:17:12,600
Speaker 1: emotions all the time, and that's okay. He learned that

352
00:17:12,640 --> 00:17:15,119
Speaker 1: being aware of his emotions, taking control of them, and

353
00:17:15,200 --> 00:17:17,960
Speaker 1: seeing things from another's person's point of view are all

354
00:17:18,200 --> 00:17:21,640
Speaker 1: very important. And he learns that apologizing when he let

355
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,000
Speaker 1: his emotions guide his actions made him feel better because

356
00:17:25,040 --> 00:17:28,080
Speaker 1: it was the right thing to do. But working through

357
00:17:28,080 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: a situation that made him mad before he did something

358
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:33,280
Speaker 1: he had to apologize for now.

359
00:17:33,280 --> 00:17:35,879
Speaker 3: That made him feel even better.
