Watch the video together and notice how Elmo uses humor to help Grover through a tough moment. Sometimes a silly little distraction is all the comfort kids need! Ask, “How did Grover feel when all the folded laundry fell to the floor? What did Elmo do? How did Grover feel then?”
Remind kids that sometimes “laughing it out” is the best way to feel better!
