P.'s Friend Comments

I used to feel proud when my son sat quietly and didn't talk much.
“Sweet boy,” people would say.
But as it turned out, he was harboring feelings. He was quiet not because he was at peace, but because he was confused, anxious, and afraid of being wrong.

Today I learned: a child's silence is not always a sign of peace. Sometimes, it's a request to be heard.

Have you ever thought your child is “fine” when in fact, they are not?
