I Taped It, But Didn’t Show It

Theme: Emotional reintegration, self-forgiveness
Symbol: Torn but mended page
Use Case: For children who regret an emotional outburst but aren’t ready to share repair
CASEL Alignment: Self-management

This story supports quiet repair with no audience. The drawing was torn in frustration, then taped back - not erased, not shown. It offers children a way to coexist with emotional rupture without needing to narrate or redeem it. The tape is visible. That’s enough.
Art Prompt: Draw something that broke - and how you put it back without hiding the tear.
