Oh, Anna... have you talked to your Daddy about this?

daddy is buzy i told the teechers. i dont like it when hes sad.

Telling the teachers was a very wise thing to do. They're there to help with this sort of thing. But your Daddy will never be too busy for you to talk about something like this. You, Lydia, Caleb and the baby are always going to come first.

hes making funny sounds

Do you mean Riley is making funny sounds? Or are you talking about Daddy?

daddy. riley just amkes talkking sounds.

Well, if you want to wait a little while to talk to Daddy, you can always talk to me until then. What makes you think this is happening to Riley?

i had dreems. i dont seeing it all aagain. and somtimes he is hert and he will not say why.

I see... well, Daddy would definitely know more about that than I would. But I do know it's important to pay attention to the dreams, if they're trying to tell you something. I can certainly promise that there will be plenty of people to help you and Riley.

How are you feeling, Anna?

i dont know how are you feeling?

I'm worried about you and Riley. I don't want him to be hurt, or you to be sad. If things are making you sad, you know you have a lot of people you can talk to, don't you?

yes. but not everrybody knows.

You're quite right. But you're doing the right thing to help Riley know.

why are peeple meen becuase i am a good girl and riley is a good boy even thouhg he pushedme that once.

Sometimes it is because they've never been taught a better way to be. Sometimes, they've been hurt by something or someone, and it makes them angry, so they want to hurt someone else. There are all sorts of reasons, and for those people, it doesn't matter whether you're good. They can't see anything good in the world, and it's sad. Usually they just need help, but unfortunately, some of them are so mean that they make it dangerous to try and help. That's why there are special people who learn how to deal with them, and it becomes their job. So even for those people, no matter how bad it gets, there is always someone to help.

my daddy does that

Yes, he does. That's because your Daddy is a very brave and kind man.

You are wonderful. Peter and Anna are talking now. Thank you, David.

And thank you, Thomas. I'm so glad they're talking. I know this can't be easy for Anna.

Hey, Annaface? No one is going to hurt you like that again if your Uncle Thomas has anything to say about it, okay? And thanks to you, your friend will get help too.

We love you, Anna. And I'm getting your daddy now.
