[INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING] BIANCA SALINAS: It's always important to be in constant communication, even it's a short email or a small text, saying, hey, he did this today. Hey, he's doing that today. I know there's times where he's so upset in the morning, and by the time he gets to school, his teacher already has a heads-up. I shoot her a quick text message or an email, and I say, "Hey, FYI, Gabe's not in a good mood this morning. You better be ready for him." And a simple, "Thank you," is always texted back. And then he has a great day because they already know how to approach him in the mornings. [INSTRUMENTAL MUSIC PLAYING]
