As you are aware Ladies, this family has had a really unsettled period over the last six weeks ! However one of our little crew has been really affected by all this upheaval. Our wee 4yr old Caty.
This included, Caty starting school, me having to run to Scotland at only a few hours notice and ended up staying longer than promised, nearly a week. That mission ended peacfully with A's passing. Home for a few day's then up to the North for the funeral, where we did not have time to take Caty to the grave to reasure her the A, was indeed in the ground with Grampa and the rest of the Clan !
The insecurity started with my run up to Scotland and Caty bless started to wet herself at school, at home and in bed the whole time I was away. My MIL who was looking after the girl's got frustrated and called Caty on it a number of times, sadly. Forced her into napppies, which caused an issue with Caty's big girl status. She then refused to discuss with Caty that I could not come home because A was in respiritary failure, even though I was open with Caty on the phone. Then the poor old dear blew a gasget when Ruth tried to tell Caty about A dying.
Then on our return Caty came down with this horrible cold,that has been doing the rounds. Poor kid has been through the mill. I have delt with MIL and all is now sorted there. However I need ideas and suggestion to help build Caty's confidence again.
I have talked about A and his passing and buriel. We have put her back in pants and set up a pompom jar, so she gets a pompom every time she goes to the loo and when the jar is full she gets a coveted gold medal,hehe. We have read appropriate stories about these situations.
However Caty has really lost her confidence and any and all suggestions are sought for ways to boost her ego again.
Help. Love, Winnie.xxxx |

Re: A Little Input Please.
A little input will all it will be winnie, He He!, Wow what helpful suggestions.
Phew that lets me off the hook, LOL!
Kathryn has covered a class buddy, think that is a great idea, Caty definitely wouldn't feel alone.
Maybe words of encouragement from relatives and friends outside the immediate family might help. it is amazing what confidence, words can do from someone else.
It is hard enough for us adults to deal with a traumatic experience, let alone a wee little one like Caty.
Love your pompom idea and medal reward, wish people were around when I was younger with such ideas.
I know Caty will regain her confidence with time, how could she not with support and encouragement of her loving Mum and family
Hugs Janice.

Re: A Little Input Please.
Hi Kathryn, yes we tried the climbing but she was too scared to even get in the car! So we went to the cinema instead to see UP, sigh.
I got her signed up for Ballet classes and she was really enjoying those and they upped and moved them five miles, the only other one is way out of our price range, grrrrrrr.
Rainbows has a waiting list, grrr again and Girl's Brigade wont take till 5 yrs!!!!! Not even for special circumstances!School does not have clubs for reception years and swimming club for her age range is on Tuesday at 3.10pm the exact time Caty gets out of school !
Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrgh.
Keep suggesting Club types for me to hunt because I am stumped.......Drama is for 7yrs plus, grrrr,grrrr,grrrr.
Hugs Winnie.xxxx
