Once a decision is made, it could be helpful to

use some Goldfish-thinking – to keep an eye
on things, check how well it is working out and

to keep coming back to the problem to see if

things have changed. Maybe some parents

have changed their minds.

This is also a problem where Caterpillar-thinking is necessary. Has the decision (either to

teach or not to teach) circus skills been a good one and brought about something

beautiful and good? Are the parents getting on with each other? Are the children
happy? Is everyone safe?

So, what do you think is the best solution here?

Step 4. Do it! And see if it is working.

Problem 4

You have known Grace since you were very little and you have been good
friends all that time. Now you have a new friend, Arash, who has recently

arrived in the country as a refugee and is in your class at school. You hear
Grace making unfriendly comments to Arash and you see him by himself,

crying.
