take a long walk
call his grandmother
invite a friend to play in the park
help a neighbor with yard work"
Answer:
- take a long walk
- call his grandmother
- invite a friend to play in the park
- help a neighbor with yard work
Explanation:
It is normal to feel sad when our family is experiencing difficulties, however, we need to work hard and try not to let sadness consume us, as being extremely sad will not help at all.
The best thing to do at these times is to look for activities that distract us, so we will think less about our problems as we are busy minded. In Austin's case, the best ways for him to be distracted are by taking a long walk, calling his grandmother, inviting a friend to play in the park, and helping a neighbor with a yard job.
Plus, taking a long walk will release hormones in Austin's body that will make you more relaxed and less sad.
Another good option for Austin to deal with your sadness is to talk about your problem with someone you trust, his grandmother could be that person.
