It started out as a typical sandbox fight between 4-year-olds. Two preschool girls battling over a red
plastic strainer. Suddenly one of the little girls gave up. With her hands clenched at her side, she began to bawl. Her pint-size opponent looked to me, a lunchtime volunteer mom, for help. “All this over a sand toy?” her eyes said. “What’s really bothering you?” I asked, putting an arm around the sobbing bundle before me. “I want my daddy . . . I want to go to his house now . . . I want my mommy to come,” she said, tears and words pouring out in equal measure. I started to feel my own throat ache. I clutched her closer as I debated whether to let her see my own tears.

a. She is upset over the lunchtime conflict.
b. She does not like the other child.
c. She feels very close to the lunchtime volunteer.
