Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Has someone new been watching her? Is there a relative or friend that she is spending time with that may be hurting her in some way? Or what about a teacher or aid or someone in the school that is harming her. If she cant explain it then maybe she can show you with some dolls or something like that. Somehow you have to find a way to find out what the problem is. What does the school say?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Hi, It really sounds like a cry for help to me. I would definitely try and find out who she's been with or around in any way. It sounds like someone has hurt her and she's trying to tell you. You may need to have her doctor examine her to make sure she's okay. Have you looked her over well to check for marks, etc?

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Pennie that's a great idea. My daughter Allie sees a certified play therapist (psychotherapy) who has used a play room full of toys to help my daughter recognize her feelings and talk about them through play. She can get an amazing amount of info about Allie's state of mind from a few minutes of watching while Allie plays with a doll house. She doesn't ask Allie any questions, she just reflects what she's seeing. " Boy the little red-haired girl [doll] sure is mad at the other children. " Before long Allie is acting out all the things that are bothering her, and she and Sally are talking about them. A couple of times it has been a huge help, when Allie wasn't able to communicate about something and was really obviously upset. Sandi (Allie's Mom) Houston In a message dated 4/25/2007 2:35:13 P.M.

Guest guest Posted April 25, 2007 Report Share Posted April 25, 2007 Nicola, I read somewhere about " Aunt Blabby " or something like that for siblings. Pretty much what you tell them you read a kid write a letter to Aunt Blabby for advice about a situation that's similar to what you think your kid is experiencing and ask your child what advice they would give the kid in that situation. I can take the pressure of your child for having to discuss something uncomfortable for her, while talking about it in a safe way. Don't know if that would work for her, maybe get her to write a letter to said kid to tell the kid what to do.
