One day in class, Neha was busy working on a drawing when she noticed her friend Rahul wiggling in his chair and tapping his pencil. Unlike the others, Rahul couldn’t sit still. Later, during a maths lesson, Tara, who loved puzzles, struggled to solve a problem and looked upset when she couldn’t find the right answer. During break, Neha saw Aarav playing alone with blocks. He didn’t talk much but built an impressively tall tower. Aarav often seemed upset by little things, so others didn’t ask him to join their games.

That evening, Neha shared her observations with her mom: Rahul’s restlessness, Tara’s difficulty with maths, and Aarav’s preference to play alone. Neha wondered why her friends couldn’t do things like everyone else. Her mom explained that everyone's brain works differently, making each person unique.

One day, Neha was working on a drawing in class. She noticed that her friend Rahul kept wiggling in his chair and tapping his pencil on the desk. He couldn’t seem to sit still, even though everyone else was quietly working.


Neha's Busy Day

A little later, the class started a maths lesson. Tara, who loved solving puzzles, looked confused when the teacher asked the class to add some numbers. She kept counting on her fingers but looked upset because she couldn’t find the right answer.


Tara's Puzzle

Aarav playing alone with blocks, building an impressively tall tower.

During the break time, Aarav was sitting in the corner, playing with blocks. He didn’t talk much, but he built the tallest tower Neha had ever seen. He would often fidget and be upset by small things. So the others did not ask him whether he wanted to join them.

Aarav's Tower

Neha talking to her mom in the evening, with a thoughtful expression on her face.

When Neha got home, she talked to her  mom about everything at school, “Mom, I noticed something about my friends today. Rahul can’t sit still, Tara gets upset with maths, and Aarav likes to play by himself.”

Mom listened and then asked, “How do you feel about that, Neha?”


Neha's Observations

Neha's mom explaining with a gentle smile, while Neha listens carefully.

Neha thought for a moment and said, “I just wonder why they can't do things like everyone else. Sitting still, learning maths or playing with others is something all of us can do, right mom?”

Mom smiled gently and said, “Let me tell you something special about how our brains work. Everyone’s brain is a little different, which means we all do things in our own way. And that’s what makes us special!”

Neha looked curious. “What do you mean, Mom?”



Mom's Explanation

Neha listened carefully to her mom's words. She started to understand that everyone is unique in their own way. Neha felt a warm feeling in her heart. She realized that her friends had special qualities. This made her appreciate them even more.

Understanding Differences

Neha looking at her friends with admiration, seeing them differently.

The next day, Neha looked at her friends differently. She saw Rahul's energy as something exciting. She thought Tara's love for puzzles was amazing, even if she struggled sometimes. And she admired Aarav's ability to build tall towers. Neha felt happy knowing her friends were special.

A New Perspective

Neha decided to share what she learned with her friends. She told Rahul, Tara, and Aarav how special they were. They all smiled and felt happy. Neha discovered the sparkle in her friends and knew that their differences made them shine. From that day on, Neha appreciated everyone’s uniqueness even more.
