For a small child, an identifiable safe adult is especially important; a note stored on a phone cannot replace supervision by someone present. Adjust examples for the child’s age, language, disability, and ways of communicating rather than expecting every child to act alike.\n\nIf a child has already grown used to rescuing others, change their duties rather than praising another adult-sized effort. You might say, “You have worried about us a lot.
