I can totally relate. Caleb drew a picture with a heart and a crack down the middle of it. I talked to him about it and he said his heart is cracked cause Serenity is not home. 🙁 I brought it up at an IEP meeting that happened a few days later and the teachers weren't aware of the picture so I showed it to them. I told them I needed their help in helping Caleb talk about his feelings and his sister (His teacher and TA know Serenity pretty well as they taught her in homebound for a while). We make sure he is a part of doing things for her, especially when she comes home occasionally.
