Kingpin

The kingpin is the pin that holds the front axle to the wagon. If it breaks, the wagon does not limp, it falls apart. In the framework, the kingpin is trust between the advocate and the child. Pieces in this part are the catalog's most serious. They cover the slowness required to build trust with a child who has learned not to give it, the cost of pushing past readiness, the practice of letting the child set the pace, the work of repair when an advocate has broken the kingpin without meaning to, and the honest reckoning that a broken kingpin is often not the child's to refit. Forms that fit this part include `LENS`, `STAGE_GUIDE` for early-placement trust work, `STRATEGY_PRACTICE` on repair, `HELP_TONIGHT` for the moment after a rupture, and `OPINION` on the doctrine of pacing. The journey vocabulary includes: trust, readiness, the pin that holds, the slow yes, the cost of pushing.
