There is no hurry with a gift of coins. Choosing slowly can feel good.
Priya's gran gave her eight pretend coins. Gran said, There is no hurry. Coins do not run away.
Priya looked first. She saw a toy boat for six coins, sweets for two coins and a paint set for five coins.
After three sleeps the boat wish had grown small, and the paint set wish stayed. A wish that stays after waiting is often the right one.
She bought the paint set for five coins, and she had three coins left.
These are some of the questions on the sets. The printable sheets have more and an answer key.
6. 8 ā 2 = 6.
No. 6 + 5 = 11, which is more than 8.
There is no hurry. Coins do not run away.. A gift of coins can wait, so there is time to choose.
Look at a few things first, or sleep on it. Looking, sleeping on it and thinking it over give a wish time to show if it stays.
With a grown-up, next time you really want something, wait a few sleeps. Then talk about whether you still want it.
Try the three-sleeps idea with something your child wants: wait a few sleeps, then talk about whether they still want it. The coins in the story are pretend, and no way of splitting a gift is the right one.
