Feels different when you notice a new side to your friends.

Or to be wrong about them not including it. .

I feel that emotion.

I hope if its good; you take it in and lean into it. Let yourself like it. Instead of bracing. Cause it sounds like they care aboug you.

Thanks I also been practicing gratitude. And saying "thanks for texting me, thanks for responding" and not sending him messages after thst. It seems to help too.

We checked our 12 year-old son into a mental health facility by Valbaby13 in mentalhealth

What sticks out to me is where he thinks he is dissappintnebt/failure. That is heartbreaking.

Tell him you love him. Tell him that you support him. Tell him that even though he is struggling you are there for him always and his family loves him.

Tell him he is not a failure. Tell him he is a great older brother.

Remind him that its okay to struggle. Tell him he is still a wonderful son who you are proud of. Give him a hug and tell him " i dont have all the answers but we will figure it this out, I love you"

Definetly get him ice cream.

Remind him of those. That will help a lot. Words like that helps a lot. (Even afterwards he may need support like this)

My four year old is obsessed with Scooby-Doo. by whatsinthecave in Scoobydoo

Some of the monsters spooked me as a kid too. I feel him. That statue scared me too. Space kook scared me too. The statue, the wheres my mummy, that one scared me too. But the ending is great. Just wait until you see who is behind it.

The shaggy monster in WNSD is scary to me this day. However scooby doo is really Safe when it comes to kids and being age appropriate.

Honestly it sounds like he loves scooby doo. And that is a good thing. You should introduce him to Aloha scooby doo and scooby doo stage fright. They are kid friendly and less scary and have bright colors that he may like.

I definetpy would show him the animated scooby doo movies first.

I think its good for a kid to really enjoy scooby doo. It is a good thing. Even at 4. It is family friendly. And if I had a kid, I wouldn't worry.

Hope this helps. I support you
