When Sophia sees her mommy crying, it makes her feel sad, too...

But after a little chat and a big hug, Mommy explains how grown-ups have emotions just like children do - they can be scared and sad and happy, and that's all perfectly fine. Feelings come and go, sometimes with a little bit of help, and that's the same at any age and any stage.
