Topic: how do you deal with a 18month old that has been abused | |
---|---|
when my daughter was around that age...
they do get times like us..when they get thier days and nights mixed up. completely normal. What was suggested to me is; put them to bed at the usual time. let them cry. go see them after a few miuntes, reasure them, but do not pick them up. walk away. go back again only let it go one more minute... it usually takes a few days... but it worked for me. as you do the back and forth thing make each time a bit longer... this shows them you are there, and will be always, while at the same time giving them the time they need to adjust. need more input, we could put links in. Again, why is the nurse not helping you with this stuff? |

Do you have a pediatrician?
and, folks involved with your care... you should have recourses at hand to show you, are even provide you, with some books, and such to have at hand when you are in between visits... Lemme find some good solid links. And, again, you need to, if you haven't already, set up counsiling. it takes time to heal from abuse. |

I was in a very bad marriage were my husband at the time abused my
children and me. My oldest daughter had the same thing and the thearpists said that it ws reaccuring flashbacks, now shes decided its post traumatic stress syndrome. My daughter is 10 now she has learnt she can only hit pillows no matter how mad she gets. She took alot of special attention and alot of cuddling. Nights were hard for her to. She was 3 when all this started for her. I wish you the best. |

gota say, after taking time away..and, waiting to see what you came up
with, you don't seem to have answers regarding her wellbeing other than wondering abut her schedule because you're taking her all over the place... Would like to read about what actual help you've gotten, please. |

she's young nene and abused to boot..give her some time.she is at least
seeking advice but when your alone it can be scary.Sometimes people feel if they go to parenting classes or counseling the child will be taken from them. Hottie health and human services can set you up with a counselor.call today. |

I understand that.
Guess I'm just frustrated at seeing folks want help and not doing it. It's terrible to know it happens all the time. I sincerely wish her the best. |
