Honestly, I wonder if Sophia's sensitivity and anxiety have resulted in meltdowns or incidents (at school, or at home, but not ones that stuck in LW's adult mind) that made Eddie tiptoe around his sister to prevent them. This is not me blaming Julia, but thinking maybe LW should ask Eddie why he's doing these things. If he's seen his sister either in very dangerous situations, or blowing up in terror, or even just having a (scary looking, if she hyperventilates!) panic attack, he might be just desperately trying to prevent something to protect himself or Sophia.
Like, a 10 year old is not going to necessarily know that a panic attack doesn't mean his sister has legit stopped breathing.
