To the parent reading this

If you're here, you are probably carrying a lot: worry, guilt, exhaustion, maybe all three at once. So before anything else, please hear this: your child staying in their room is not proof that you failed as a parent. Being here, quietly looking for ways to understand them, already says so much about you. You'll find small, gentle ideas for keeping the door open, and the voices of other families, so the silence at home feels a little less confusing.
