In the Book The Little Prince, Antoine De Saint-Exupery says "Anything Essential is invisible to the eyes."  My daughter was in tears the other night.  I asked her what was wrong and she told me how she perceived being ridiculed by other children for not knowing the meaning of a word.  My heart hurt for her.  At the same time I explained to her that what she is not seeing is the love and acceptance the other children are seeking.  I explained how everyone wants to feel important and we all look for that importance in different ways.  It's essential she understands this or she risks a life of tears.
