We knocked the wall to her bedroom down. Or rather, the builders did. We told her it was happening, but she did not really comprehend what it means. She was excited about coming into our bedroom, and she knows our bedroom will be her room soon, but now her bedroom no longer exists she is devastated.
We came home to find our hallway is a long corridor, and the builder was leaving and we were talking and I did not think about DDs reaction, I completely forgot it was her bedroom and she started crying and not being understood. And we realised she was upset about her bedroom going.
I have never seen her so so upset or inconsolable, well not since she was a very little baby and unable to talk. She is upset she has nowhere to play, that our room is not her room, she is scared of the big space, and she wants her bedroom back .
What can we do to help her?
