At snack time, another kid wanted [Gracie](KT2YWQ6N)’s seat. [Gracie](KT2YWQ6N) said politely, ‘You can have the seat after I’m done eating.’ The other child thanked her and waited patiently.

[Gracie](KT2YWQ6N) grew better and better at understanding feelings—hers and others'. She loved being kind and helpful wherever she went.
