Chapter 16 - Noah becomes afraid of stairs
Physical healing came faster than emotional reaction.
For weeks, Noah cried near stairs.
At one year old, he could not explain memory.
His body did.
We installed gates.
Top.
Bottom.
Secured professionally.
No improvised pressure gate at top.
His pediatric therapist recommended:
No forced stair practice.
Let normal development return.
Months later he crawled toward bottom step.
Stopped.
Looked at me.
Then sat down.
I did not cheer.
Did not push.
He would learn when ready.
Lily sat beside him and rolled a toy car away from the stairs.
She became protective.

Too protective.
That created another problem.
