😲 My one-year-old son kept facing the wall: one day, I was deeply shaken by what he said.
After the death of my wife, I lived with my one-year-old son in an old house. It was really difficult to take care of him and work at the same time.
Fortunately, my son was a very calm child. One day, I noticed that he would constantly stay facing the wall in his room. By paying close attention, I saw that he would regularly stand in front of the wall, motionless, for a few minutes.
At first, I wasn’t concerned, thinking it was just one of those little habits children have. However, over time, I began to wonder.
Every time he was facing the wall, he didn’t respond to my calls or the noises around him. This situation started to worry me more and more.
One evening, I decided to sit next to him and observe him quietly. Suddenly, I heard him murmur something. At first, I couldn’t quite understand what he was saying, but when he repeated it, and I finally understood what he had said, those words completely shook me.
The full story is in the first comment below 👇👇👇.
One evening, he murmured: “Mommy is here.”
It completely disturbed me.
I took my son to the pediatrician and then to a psychologist, who explained that Diego might simply be expressing his sadness in his own way.
During one session, he drew a blurry figure, which he identified as his mother.
My son felt his mother’s presence in his own way.
This experience taught me to listen differently and to accept that children have their own way of living and understanding things.
Sometimes, words aren’t enough to express how we feel, but their behavior, gestures, and even silences can say a lot.
I realized that as a parent, it’s essential to stay attentive to the invisible needs of your child, even when they seem hard to understand.
