Little Selena was in one of her moods again.
She sat there with a tight little face, clearly upset—but no one really knew why. Nothing had gone wrong, yet her emotions were already building.
“Eee…”
A soft, unhappy sound.
Mom stayed close.
Calm.
Gentle.
She began to advise Selena softly, speaking with love and patience. Her voice was warm, trying to guide her through those big, confusing feelings.
But Selena didn’t respond right away.
Her lips trembled.
Her body stayed tense.
Then suddenly—
“EEEEEE!”
Selena burst into a loud angry cry, her voice sharp even though there was no clear reason behind it. Her tiny hands moved as she expressed all that built-up emotion.
“Eee! Eee!”
She turned slightly away, not wanting to listen.
Mom didn’t get upset.
She stayed patient.
Again and again, she spoke gently, offering comfort instead of force. Her hand softly rested on Selena, reminding her she was safe.
Selena kept crying for a moment.
But slowly…
Her loud voice began to fade.
Her body relaxed.
The storm passed.
Mom gently picked her up, holding her close.
Instantly—
Selena calmed down.
Now quiet in her arms, she leaned into the warmth she needed all along.
For little Selena, sometimes emotions come without reason—but with patience and love, Mom always helps her find peace again.
