Hi, we have one DD who turned eight during lockdown. So far we have managed to keep her on a fairly even keel. However, I am struggling with overwhelming feelings for her.
She is desperate to see her friends, but doesn't like seeing them on face time because it makes her sad that she can't give them a hug (her words).
We play with her alot! We encourage some independent play so we can get some jobs done. However, sometimes I just want to cry for her (and then it overwhelms me like I said) because she looks so sad in the paddling pool or on her swing.
The idea that she won't have a play date til September or beyond if today's headlines are anything to go by is so sad. It's a shit time to be a kid!
Does anyone have any advice to 1) help me manage my feelings or 2) help her through this time
Many thanks for reading!
