The room was still as the mother watched her eldest son holding his baby brother in the dim morning light. Her heart raced while she waited for him to speak. Finally, in a trembling whisper, he said, \u201cI have to protect him, Mom. They told me he might be taken away.\u201d Startled, she asked, \u201cWho told you that?\u201d The boy looked down at the baby. \u201cI hear them in my dreams,\u201d he said. \u201cShadowy figures tell me the baby is in danger. If I don\u2019t watch him, he\u2019ll disappear.\u201d<\/p>\n
A chill ran through her. She knelt beside him, gently placing a hand on his arm. \u201cSweetheart, dreams can feel real, but they can\u2019t take your brother,\u201d she reassured softly. Tears filled his eyes. \u201cBut it feels real, Mom. I don\u2019t want to lose him.\u201dUnderstanding the depth of his fear, she wrapped her arms around both boys. \u201cLet\u2019s talk to Dad when he gets home. We\u2019ll figure this out together.\u201d<\/p>\n
Later that day, the family sat down and explained how dreams can create scary ideas that aren\u2019t real. They assured him that his brother was always safe with them. To help ease his anxiety, they involved him in caring for the baby during the day, giving him a sense of control and comfort. A nightlight was placed in his room so waking from a bad dream wouldn\u2019t feel so frightening.<\/p>\n
Within days, the early-morning ritual faded. Fear slowly turned into laughter, and the bond between the brothers grew stronger. The parents were grateful\u2014they had discovered their son\u2019s protective heart and the power of facing fears as a family.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
