If you take the words at face value, you can end up feeling that emergency measures are called for. A little worried. I'm feeling my way. Instead of any great excitement, a hug or a squeeze or a joke may be much more in order. Or some roughhouse or a cookie or anything that says.
Life is still warm and safe.
Try to work in the nice things at home that all children like. Read stories at bedtime, at bathtime. Play games together. Take a walk together. Go for a ride.
