（首页订阅胖胖阿姨讲故事，就能听到精彩的音频咯~）

胖胖导读：
长得不同没关系，尴尬生气没关系，坐轮椅没关系，甚至考最后一名也没关系，一个人跳舞也很好，重要的是我开心，不会隐瞒自己的情绪，我就是我自己，我爱我自己。
 
It’s okay to be missing a tooth (or two or three)
It’s okay to need some help
It’s okay to have a different nose
It’s okay to be a different color
It’s okay to have no hair
It’s okay to have BIG ears
It’s okay to have wheels
It’s okay to be Small Medium Large Extra Large
It’s okay to wear glasses
It’s okay to talk about your feelings
It’s okay to eat macaroni and cheese in the bathtub
It’s okay to say NO to bad things
It’s okay to come from a different place
It’s okay to be embarrassed
It’s okay to come in last
It’s okay to dance by yourself
It’s okay to have a pet worm
It’s okay to be proud of yourself
It’s okay to have different Moms
It’s okay to have different Dads
It’s okay to be adopted 
It’s okay to have an invisible friend
It’s okay to do something nice for someone
It’s okay to lose your mittens
It’s okay to get mad
It’s okay to do something nice for yourself
It’s okay to help a squirrel collect nuts
It’s okay to have different kinds of friends
It’s okay to make a wish 
It’s Okay to be different.
You are Special and Important just because of being who you are.

Love,
Todd
 

【胖胖思考】

正如世上没有两片相同的叶子，世界上也没有两个完全一样的孩子，我们宝贝的任何长处或缺点，都是独一无二，无可复制。

毕竟，一味地说 “你看谁谁谁家孩子……”并不会使宝贝朝着希望的方向发展。我们需要做的只是和孩子一道，正视缺点，学会欣赏，建立自信。 

“不一样没关系”，本身就是一种包容与欣赏。快了慢了也没有关系，和宝贝一起待在自己的时区里，静待花开。

好啦，今天的故事就到这啦~
