Paul struggles with anxiety. He knows his mother is stressed about money and he knows that stress affects her love for him and his sisters. Her stress is passed on to him. He believes if he can "get there" on the rocking horse, he can predict the winner of the race and help bring some money to his family so that his mother will love him. Sadly, this behavior ultimately makes him ill and causes his death.

Paul's Uncle struggles to help his nephew -- however, he is also motivated by his own greed and love for gambling. He knows Paul is hurting himself but continues to allow Paul to behave this way so that he can benefit from Paul's visions. Being already rich himself, Oscar has no need to gamble and get more money. His greed and love for gambling contribute to Paul's death.
