My dd2, age 5, has a chronic hip condition which means she can't be mobile much (5 mins walking per hour!!!)
Its been going on for 18 months, ha satleast another 6, possibly another year to run.
No idea how to deal with it - she is becomig increasingly frustrated, defiant, awkward .. tantrums about going to school (where she uses a wheelchair) and going out with me (in her Major buggy).
I don' twant to bribe her, btu I feel SO sorry for what she is undergoing (while also feeling sorry for myself policing every stet she takes!!!)
Anyone else have a chronically ill child?
