It's Not Your Job

by Marie Chow, Miki Tharp (illustrator)

Sometimes you need a reminder that your parents' problems are not your own, and it's not your job to fix everything. Being a kid can be hard, so try not to add to your own worries. Remember to do the things you love, have fun, and play. Your parents will be happy to see you happy. Remember, whatever is bothering your parents, they are strong and smart enough to take care of it and you at the same time. So, try not to worry, it will be okay.
