DR. JUDY ITZKOWITZ

Courage. His mom and I discussed what happened. We had a difficult, yet important conversation. We reflected on what happened to see what we could do differently. Reflection, I find, is so invaluable, when faced with a problem. Everyone seemed very stressed from the incident. We wanted to work through this so that everyone could feel more comfortable and safe. We did a few things… I had brought my dogs over to his house for a brief visit when I was in the area. The young man laughed and loved to see his dog and my dogs play together. The Bichon calendar gift that we had given him was hidden for quite a while. He used to look at it and cry.
