4/13 My brothers are doing homework. Mom is teaching her high school classes. Everybody is staring at screens. I am bored, bored, bored.
5/13 I try to follow my classes on the computer: it’s hard, I miss playing outside with my friends, and I miss dancing. It feels like my skin is crawling, and I’m antsy.
6/13 I wish time could go faster. Maybe I can speed it up if I run really fast. Oops, I disturbed everyone again. “Just. Stop. MOVING!” screams Mikey, and “Arrrrrgh, not again, ” yells Peter. I’m getting on everybody’s nerves. I’m not myself.
7/13 “Kate, could you try to read quietly for a while?” I sit still for two minutes, and my legs start twitching. I’m ready to burst out. I’m going to get in trouble again.
8/13 All of a sudden, the phone rings! I run and answer. It’s Mrs. Robinson who enquires, “How are you, Kate?” I sneak underneath the table, with tears welling in my eyes I whisper “I’m being bad, I can’t sit still.”
9/13 Mrs. Robinson reminds me that at school, we use Yoga to calm down in the morning. She suggests that I practise after waking up and promises to send her videos to mom.
10/13 A week later, I am leading my family through Mrs. Robinson’s yoga! I’m finishing with the tree pose. I’m really good at this, even my brothers can see it.
11/13 “Thank you, Kate, ” Mom says. “What a wonderful way to start the day.” I feel helpful. I feel wanted. I feel like myself. Finding that warm and fuzzy feeling keeps me calm and focused all day.
