Writing Prompts: Adoptive Kid's First Night
“You can lock the door if you want. I want you to feel safe here.”
“The social worker said you get cold easily. Do you want an extra blanket?”
“This is our dog. She is nosy and likes to cuddle, but you can close the door if it gets too much.”
“Do you want to watch something? We can argue about what to watch, that… that's something siblings do, right?”
“Hey, mom said you didn't eat dinner. This is my favorite snack, if you want to share…”
“If you cry, I won't tell. But only if you won't tell if I cry either, deal?” “Deal.”
“Anyone messes with you at school and you tell me, yeah? We're family now.”
“Just be a kid, yeah?”
“You don't have to talk about it, but we're here if you want to.”
“You're not gonna unpack?” “I…” “You want your stuff ready to go, right? I get it. No worries.”
“Can you leave the light on?”
