My toddler gets very upset when
I leave him to bring his sister to
treatment. What can I do to help
my child when I am not with him?
Create a photo album. Put pictures of
you and your child and other supportive
people in the photo album. This way when
you are not with your child, there is
a reminder of you and your family.
I want to make sure I spend some
quality time to bond with my child.
Do you have any suggestions on a
good time to do this?
Reading can be a time of connection. Grab
a snuggle and a story whenever you get
the chance. We know that you have many
extra demands on your time, so this might
not be as possible as often as you would
like.
What are some toys that may be
helpful during this time?
- Play doctor's kit
- Dollhouse with family
- Blank paper, crayons, and finger
paints
- Anything that talks about feelings
- Favorite toys before their sibling
got sick
Do you have a list of websites,
books, and other resources on helping
kids cope?
