Not sure if this will be helpful or not, but I have a part of me that steps in and takes care of things when stuff gets hard like that.

It’s the part of me that runs. I think it’s like someone else suggested about being busy.

It doesn’t help the feeling of the little one wanting to be “there” but for me it gives strength for the little part that there is someone there, in that place, if that makes sense.

That sounds really weird but I don’t know any other way to say it.
