As normal (but worse today) my 6yo girl has had a tottal melt down over her mummy leaving after having a weekend with her (ex see the kids every couple of weekends due to distance). She screams, shouts, bangs about and cries for her mummy. She is absolutely distort and it's so upsetting to watch. Luckily her brother (2yo) gets over her leaving quickly. Nothing I can say to her seems to makes things better, she just gets so upset and it hurts. Anyone experiance the same about kids missing the other parent? Any tips, anything I can do? Or do I just ride the tantrum out every time and let her cry it out?
