Little Lucy is starting to have negative thoughts about herself. At times, she feels she isn't smart enough, fast enough, or just plain good enough. She worries about things that might happen or what others might think. She calls these feelings and thoughts her monster.
But when Lucy finally shares her feelings with her mom, she begins to see her monster differently OR she realizes that her monster isn't that scary after all.

"Beneath every behavior is a feeling. And beneath every feeling is a need. And when we meet that need rather than focus on the behavior, we begin to deal with the cause, not the symptom." --Ashleigh Warner, Family Psychologist.
