Planning Alternative Tomorrows with Hope (PATH)
Okay kiddo, imagine you have to go to bed now, but you have a really exciting day planned for tomorrow. You can't wait to wake up and play with your friends, go on a fun trip with your family or maybe even try a new activity you've always wanted to do. That feeling you have of being excited and looking forward to something is what we mean by 'hope'!
Now, sometimes things don't go as planned and we can't do the things we really wanted to do. Maybe it rains and we can't go outside to play or our family suddenly has to cancel the trip. When this happens, we can feel disappointed and sad.
But what if we planned something else just in case the first plan fell through? That's where 'alternative tomorrows' come in. It means thinking about different things we might do if our first plan doesn't work out. For example, if it's raining and we can't go outside to play, maybe we could build a fort inside instead.
So 'planning alternative tomorrows with hope' means thinking about different options and being hopeful that even if our first plan doesn't work out, we still have some fun things to look forward to. It's a way of staying positive and making the most of every situation, even when things don't go exactly as we planned.
