芬恩的家人在后院种了一棵树，他觉得自己对这棵树负有责任，并担心这棵小树苗会感到寒冷、饥饿或孤独。他试图与这棵树分享他的早餐，把自己的围巾送给它，还花了一个下午来陪伴它。睡觉后，他的夜灯熄灭了，芬恩陷入了一片黑暗。当他的神经开始紧张时，他想到了这棵小树每天晚上都身处黑暗之中！但是，当他看到小树在月光下笔直、勇敢地站着，似乎并不害怕，这激励了芬恩也要勇敢起来。于是，芬恩的善良和好奇心最终帮助他克服了对黑暗的恐惧。《成长的烦恼》是一个关于好奇心、善良、同情心、爱护环境和克服恐惧的感人故事。

When Finn’s family plants a tree in the backyard, he feels responsible for it and worries the little sapling is cold, hungry or lonely. He tries to share his breakfast with the tree, offers it his scarf, and spends the afternoon keeping it company. Just after going to bed, his nightlight goes out and Finn is plunged into darkness. As his nerves start to take hold, it occurs to him that his tree is outside in the dark, every night! But when he sees that his little tree is standing tall and brave in the moonlight and doesn’t seem afraid, it inspires Finn to be brave as well. And so Finn’s kindness and curiosity end up helping him to overcome his fear of the dark. Growing Pains is a touching story about curiosity, kindness, empathy, care of the environment, and overcoming your fears.
