Karma was a cheerful third-grader, always ready to embark on new adventures with his friends at school.

His parents loved him dearly, their whole world revolving around his happiness.

However, a major change was looming. His parents, after 18 years of marriage, were separating.

Karma was confused and hurt. He didn't understand what was happening, why his once happy home was now filled with silence.

At school, his friends could sense his unhappiness. They tried to cheer him up, but Karma remained quiet and sad.

Mrs. Johnson, Karma's teacher, noticed his unusual behavior and decided to talk to him.

Mrs. Johnson gently asked him about his feelings, creating an atmosphere of trust and understanding.

Karma, feeling reassured, opened up about his parents' separation. He expressed his fears and confusion.

Mrs. Johnson explained to him that his parents still loved him and their decision had nothing to do with him.

His friends, too, reassured him that he was not alone. They promised to stand by him, no matter what.

Karma's parents, realizing his struggle, sat him down. They apologized for the tension and reassured him of their love.

They explained that sometimes, adults need to make difficult decisions, but they promised to always be there for him.

The following weeks at school were better. Mrs. Johnson continued to check on him and provide support.

His friends too, constantly lifted his spirits, reminding him that he was loved and valued.

At home, his parents made efforts to maintain harmony. They spent quality time with him, easing the transition.

Gradually, Karma began to understand and accept the change. His home was different, but it was still filled with love.

Karma realized he was stronger than he thought. He learned to cope with his parents' separation with grace and courage.

He felt grateful for the support from his friends and teacher, who helped him navigate through this tough time.

His parents, though separated, continued to be his pillars of strength, teaching him the values of love and understanding.

His friends, his constant companions, reminded him of the power of friendship and shared joy.

And Mrs. Johnson, his guide, instilled in him the importance of expressing emotions and seeking help when needed.

Karma, though young, had embarked on a journey of resilience, understanding that change is a part of life.
