Chapter 20 - The school meal incident

Two months after everything, Benson refused lunch at school.

The teacher called.

My heart dropped.

Was he spiraling?

No.

He disliked the hot lunch.

Asked for his backup sandwich.

Teacher said yes.

Then he began crying because another child teased his airplane toy.

The aide gave him space.

His lunch remained on table.

Nobody said:

Stop crying first.

He ate while still sniffling.

That tiny event mattered.

May you like

He learned:

Feelings do not cancel food.
