First time sleeping alone

Having their own room and sleeping alone gives children a sense of anticipation and confidence!

Sakura has grown up and can do many things now.
For example, it can change its own clothes and can write many words;
I can already jump rope ten times.
They will also try their best to eat green peppers and carrots!

One day, Sakura said to her mother:
"I want to sleep alone."

The mother was skeptical: Can Sakura really do that?
Sakura used to always need her mother to accompany her.

Sakura made a schedule for the dolls that would sleep with her:
The first day was a fox, followed by a kitten, a bear, a rabbit, and a penguin.
That evening, with the dolls by his side,
Sakura began her plan to sleep alone.

Sakura worked so hard, and her mother gave her a lot of encouragement.
This will give Sakura more courage to continue her plan.
A story about a child's courageous attempts and the warm companionship of adults.
