How to Become Important in a Game | Story “Timmy and the Great Game Hide-and-Seek”

Описание: What does a child feel when they want to be important in a game?
When they want others to listen to their opinion?
Often — anxiety and an inner question: “Am I even needed?”
The forest animals were happily playing a big game of hide-and-seek. But Little Bunny Timmy noticed something important: if they hid the wrong way, the game would end too quickly. He didn’t start giving orders. He shared his experience. And in that very moment, the game became more challenging, more interesting — and truly exciting.
After that, they began inviting Timmy again and again.
