Why does mom have to tell everything? (Therapeutic tale)

 

One Hedgehog was very small and sometimes shy to tell something for his mother. Sometimes he was afraid to say what he had done, he was afraid that he might be scolded. Sometimes I didn’t want to upset my mother, but for some reason I thought that this was not always important and that my mother needed it. Sometimes I did not want to distract my mother from business.
The kid was silent about the important things in his life and it was hard for him, as if some kind of pebble was inside him.
But one day the Hedgehog was looking for delicious food with his mother.
Thorn asked his mother: “And when something bad happens and I tell you about it, do you feel very bad too?”

And his mother said very important words to him: “I am your mother, so if something is hard in life, then it’s easier to endure together! If in life it hurts, then together this pain is divided in half! If there is something terrible in life, then together it is easier to overcome fear! If life is difficult, then together we can overcome all difficulties. So, whatever is in your life, just to share with you, you have me! So never hesitate to tell me everything – from the most difficult and disturbing to the most fun and funny.
Because now it is important to be together!”.

The kid calmed down, joyful and happy, ran with his small paws near his mother to a forest glade, where there was a wonderful tasty treat.

And inside of him, as if the sun shone, it became warm and light around. Since his mother will always help, everything can be said to her.
