Ok, so ive got a 7 year old who is focussed on germs and death (of me and her younger sister) Yesterday they both went to a friends to play after school but she got upset and wanted me and they came home nearly an hour early!
Its really hard for me to go out without her, she totally freaks out begging me not to go!
She is being assessed in 2 weeks but my question is this
I was told by social worker to not give in to her and i should go out! When she fones me (roughly every 10 mins) to check how long im going to be, i SHOULD NOT ANSWER THE FONE as im giving in to her fears!
I saw the woman who looks after her at school and she was shocked and said of course i should always answer the fone to her ESPECIALLY as i dont know if its an emergency!
What is the right appraoch cos i dont feel that i can avoid reassuring her until ive had her see a proffesssional!
SHES ONLY 7 and i feel a right bitch making her cry!
