Letters To Our Children

Jake, you are one of the most precious people in my world. Your chatter and your passion for drawing and your sheer energy stop me in my tracks at least five times each day. You know this, you often catch me gazing fondly at you as you play.

At the moment though, you're having a tough time, and it all stems from your shyness. For some reason, particularly with adults that you don't know well, you freeze up. You totally withdraw into yourself and refuse to interact, take instruction or even acknowledge the presence of those adults.
