Mum has been sick and is had surgery yesterday. Dd1 has been so horribly behaved lately and I couldn't wk out why. This morning she was talking about mum, hospital and having her leg cut. Poor baby has been stressing and the anxiety about mum. I was so careful to not talk about it when she was around but she's sensed /herd something's wrong.
Will have to really watch her now
After receiving advice from someone I have now learned the hard way that they always know something is up and they get even more worried when we don't talk about it! So now I know to bring it up first. Then if he's worried, he knows he can bring it up again, because its already something we've discussed. If he's not worried then no harm done.
They are clever little cookies. Her empathy and caring nature will serve her will one day.
I hope so Lenny.
I didn't realise how much she's picked up on. Hoping that seeing mum today will make her feel better. She also made some comments about school which made me realise where her daycare anxieties are coming from. So that's something else that ill have to sort out too now.
I'm going to have to be so careful what she sees and hears now. I know I can't shield her from everything and I want her to build empathy etc but I also don't want her to be constantly worried about things. This really explains the behaviour and tummy aches. My poor bubba girl

How could I be so naive?
