Here are some things Bear's family does to set him up for success when fireworks are at their loudest. They rate him 1/5 💥, not very scared of fireworks, but he doesn't love when they wake him up from a nap.

Juniper is mildly upset by fireworks. He startles or seeks comfort after really loud booms, or whistles, but stays fairly calm, if occasionally a little nervous. My family rates him 2/5 💥.

River is very scared of fireworks: her family rates her 4/5 💥. They have a plan in place to minimize her exposure to fireworks for now, and are working with her to help her reduce her fear of fireworks for the future.
