The Yellow Car
Our older son tore it out of his brother’s hands and said that he was playing with it.

I sensed that she was being triggered by the memory of her sister’s serious fall. I followed her to her room, where she was hiding in the closet. I went in there to do Staylistening, but she wouldn’t look at me and wasn’t communicative.
This whole situation demonstrates so clearly how the listening tools in Parenting by Connection all work together.
This helped me gain confidence in the notion that if I supportively stayed with my daughter while she struggled with negative emotions, she would come out to the other side of them…
…the listening that my son has experienced has helped him be so compassionate and sweet with his brother.
There’s always enough love for you. Whether your sister is sick or healthy, there’s always enough love for you.
