The Tower That Looked Fine
Helpful forBig feelings • Body signals • Co-regulation
A tower of wooden blocks is left standing in a sunny clearing. Each small thing that lands on her — a confusing word, a sharp sound, a missed turn — shifts a single block. Nobody sees the wobble. Until one tiny breath of wind causes her to fall, and a gentle hand begins to gather the blocks back, one by one.

For Kids
When small things keep piling up, it makes sense that you fall apart later. You don't have to hold it all together alone.
For Parents
Some children look fine until they suddenly aren't. The most powerful response to the fall isn't a "why did you do that?" — it's a quiet adult who simply begins to gather the blocks back, and slowly learns to notice the wobble before the crash.
