If you try to sort out all his problems at once, you'll both end up feeling frustrated and disheartened.<br><br>A worried child will react best to a small step to independence and will only be comfortable when he feels secure, so work out the first small step and then try it, with lots of praise, encouragement and some rewards.<br><br>Keep praying for her!! It is not a bad thing, whatever she is going through. Trust that she will grow out of it soon, and that her compassionate and gentle nature will grow. God bless :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091275899557251545.post-27811802568783703502008-10-30T17:21:00.000+08:002008-10-30T17:21:00.000+08:00Thanks Cheryl for your kind words.

The situation is getting a little out of hand right now in that even when the boy is not around she does not want to be with the toddlers in the daycare. <br>Well, the daycare inhouse psychologist is in for observation tomorrow and we'll be having a chat with her to see how we can deal with whatever been happening.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6091275899557251545.post-24511231283888412312008-11-03T02:09:00.000+08:002008-11-03T02:09:00.000+08:00Hey, I'd also suggest not to let her see how upset...Hey, I'd also suggest not to let her see how upset you are as well. I know this is probably very difficult cuz well, you're just more emotional now , but it would make her more nervous. That's what the directrice told me was happening when I sent Isabelle to school.
