Explaining to My Daughter
Meanwhile, our daughter watched, puzzled by all the adult activity. I knew it was time to talk to her.
Sitting down, I gently explained that while the doll seemed broken, it was important to her safety. Her eyes wide, she nodded solemnly.
It wasn’t easy, but she understood as much as a child could. We wanted to make sure she felt safe, even if she didn’t fully grasp what was truly going on.
