Matahari pagi masih malu-malu menembus celah dedaunan ketika Ana bangun dari tidurnya. Suara napas pelan dan teratur dari anaknya, Bintang, terdengar jelas di kamar kecil yang mereka tinggali. Ana mengelus lembut kepala Bintang yang kini terbaring lemah di atas kasur tipis. Sudah berminggu-minggu Bintang terlihat semakin lemah dan kurus. Tubuhnya yang dulu ceria dan penuh tawa, kini lebih sering terkulai lemas di pangkuan Ana. “Kenapa, Nak? Kenapa kamu harus merasakan ini?” bisik Ana dengan suara bergetar. Hatinya terasa berat setiap kali memandang anak laki-lakinya itu. Ia tak mampu menahan air matanya lagi. Ana tahu, Bintang mengalami gizi buruk. Namun, sebagai seorang ibu yang bekerja serabutan di kota kecil, Ana tidak memiliki cukup uang untuk memberikan makanan bergizi yang layak. Penghasilan dari bekerja sebagai buruh cuci harian hanya cukup untuk membeli beras dan minyak goreng. Ikan, daging, bahkan sayur-mayur segar terasa seperti barang mewah yang sulit dijangkau.

Celebrating Our Special Bodies Our bodies are special—they can move and play, Waving hello, giving hugs, and smiling all day. Your arms can stretch wide to share love and cheer, Your hands can clap, tap, and give a high five, my dear! Expressing Through Movement Look at your fingers: wiggle them slow, one, two, three— Count them out loud and set your kind spirit free. Jump, twirl, or tiptoe, let your body sing, Every move you make can make your heart ring. Emphasizing Gentle Movements But listen very close—there’s something you must know: Our bodies are for gentle moves, not for causing woe. Hitting, slapping, or pushing can hurt a friend’s heart, It makes their body hurt and tears their happy world apart. Hands Are Not For Hitting Imagine if someone hit you—ouch, that would sting! So let’s promise together, in a gentle, steady ring: “Hands, arms, and feet are for love and fun, Not for hurting others—no, not one!” Recognizing Big Feelings Sometimes you feel angry, sad, or even a bit scared, Maybe someone takes your toy, and you feel unprepared. When big feelings start to rise, here’s what you can do: Take a deep breath—in… and out… let it flow right through. Self-Soothing Strategies Clap your hands gently, tap your feet with care, Or squeeze a soft pillow—let your worries clear. Press your hands together like you’re giving yourself a hug, Count slowly with your fingers—feel calm, safe, and snug. Positive Ways to Use Your Hands Your hands are perfect for waving a bright hello, For drawing pretty pictures or making a paper bow. They’re great for a high five when a friend does something neat, Or giving a gentle pat to show that love is sweet. Kind Alternatives for Upset Moments When you’re feeling upset, try these kind things instead: Open your arms for a warm hug or tap out a beat with your head. If your anger grows, count your fingers—one by one, Then take another deep breath until your storm is done.
