What I mean by this is that he is keenly aware of any change in routine, behavior, and feeds off it. Meaning it is my job to be his internal regulator by calming my own chaos. Through our families' decision to practice social distancing and being aware about COVID-19, I have had to practice my own internal regulation in order to be able to guide my child through this time. When he asks big questions like “why can’t I go to school, play at the park, or see grandpa”. I have found pause with how to answer him.

He feels confused that his routine is off, he isn’t going to school, and let’s be real, he is probably confused why I’m cooking food instead of going to a restaurant. Our first day of working from home was a bit of a free for all because we don’t even have structure yet as we adapt to the new normal of mom and dad both working from home with both boys.

On the list of pre-planned questions they likely jot down prior to the call comes the question “[what about drugs and alcohol exposure](https://blog.adoptionsbygladney.com/reframing-early-childhood-experiences)?”. This is a hard, honest and vulnerable question for almost every parent who is interested in adopting.

Recently I read a harrowing statistic that in the state of Texas there were 4,310 children removed from their parents before or at the age of one years old. Helping the tiniest of our people understand their story, hurt and incorporate emotional and physical wellness should be all of our priority. Recently Sesame Street announced that they were releasing a new resource connection for children who are or have been in foster care and the adults in their lives.

While watching this episode with my son I quickly fell in love with the catchy song  “don’t need a trip to the beauty shop, ’cause I love what I got on top….”. As well as the message that promotes self-love, acceptance and awareness that we are all different. I'm grateful for this father starting a dialogue that our society needs. His creativity ignited conversations in homes, schools and playgrounds around the globe. Continue the conversation by catching Gladney University's video on demand training led by author and speaker, Rhonda Roorda entitled "[Embracing the Heart, Mind, and Spirit of Transracial Adoption](https://www.eventbrite.com/e/84996208949)".   [![New call-to-action](https://no-cache.hubspot.com/cta/default/4002831/4f0703b0-cff1-4c83-a2fa-5efd7972d88c.png)](https://cta-redirect.hubspot.com/cta/redirect/4002831/4f0703b0-cff1-4c83-a2fa-5efd7972d88c) Want to learn more about Mazzarino?
