week#6 reading journal - the crying chair

 Now I am reading a book called “A Cup of Comfort”. This book has many shoot stories. I would like to introduce one of the stories. This story is about a lady who has a special chair, the Crying Chair. When she small girl she had a dinning chair which works pretty well with people who have problems. In her experience, when she had something sad or had problem, she sat the chair to cry out her feeling. It was the place for her to park her emotional baggage so she could get on her life.
 When she started teaching at kindergarten, she put the Crying Chair for students. One student cannot control his tear falling, because if his parents’ divorce. Sometimes it is embarrassing to cry, but when a student sat on the chair he could cry and dried his eyes without being teased by other students. After started using the chair he could control his tear and stop crying uncontrollably and learned that he can cry if he needed. Also, other students learn that if their friend needed to cry they had to pry and tried to give them special kindness and love.
