Very concerning behavioral changes and what I’m doing about it (part 2)

Trying to figure out what's triggering certain behaviors or causing distress is sometimes a guessing game because my kids can't always just say what's bothering them. It's not that they don't want to either.  It's that they don't know how. (part 2)

I can check in, see where he is, and even talk to him if he needs help — all without hovering. I wish I had this when he was younger. I’m so grateful we have it now.
