I spoke with Gavin about “who’s trying to kill him”

I had a rather strange conversation with Gavin today about who or what is trying to kill him.... This is such a difficult situation and it's not easy to know what the right thing to do is.... 😔

If your child only wants to wear that one shirt or those same pants every day… it’s not about being stubborn. It’s about sensory safety. As a dad, I love seeing this. This girl was clearly overwhelmed, exhausted, frustrated, hangry, or all of the above. Big other steps in and with classic big brother humor and instantly changed the course of her day. This was so amazing to watch and I dare you to watch this and not smile. 😊❤️🫶 Sometimes we feel powerless to fix the world.
