Kids sometimes are very resistant to open up emotionally to their parents directly and can sometimes respond very well to a proxy; usually someone other than the parent whether a live person, a journal, or in this case a puppet.

As someone who was raised by an emotionally absent mother and a dad who was disappointed that I wasn’t a clone of him, having an outlet to learn how to handle my emotions would have been great. Parents need to do what works for their kids, maybe Miles wouldn’t open up to his mom directly and found that having conversations with a proxy much more preferable.
Interesting perspective, thank you! I do disagree however, and feel like this is an established way for Miles to safely explore his feelings and grow in his emotional maturity. It’s jarring at the moment for Kevin but I feel like Miles wouldn’t skip a beat. But that is just my opinion.
I don’t, they made their choice.
