Even elementary school students have plenty of worries.

Because they’re not yet used to dealing with people, some children may carry those worries without relief and end up feeling more stressed.

Many children also have dreams, and there are times when they need the strength to work toward them.

For those kids, I recommend listening to Snow Man’s “Namida no Umi o Koete Ike.” No matter how hard things get, if you keep running—even if you stumble along the way—a bright future is surely waiting.

It’s a song overflowing with positivity.
