hiya all...my daughter was born in 2015 and in her short life ive done nothing but constantly move about due to being in a violent relationship with her dad...but in january next year im doing a mutual house exchange and was looking for advice on how to make her feel safe and not like were waiting to move again as thats all she is used to...this new house will be our forever home and i want her to feel settled...all she is used to is people coming in and out of her life she hasnt seen her dad since march this year and the only people who have been pretty much around all the time is me and my mum and if i go even into the next room she calls out for me like she thinks im leaving like everyone else has done tia

There’s probably not too much you can do when she’s so young, but maybe make her bedroom lovely for her and plan lots of mother daughter time to play together and snuggle up watching films. She might be clingy for a while but young children are good at adapting and I’m sure after a few months she’ll relax a bit. Good luck to you and I hope it all works out well

Make her room special. Be patient as the clinging will fade over time- it's just her way of dealing with it. My daughter was a similar age and was just the same. We have a wonderful relationship now and she is 15.
It gets better. Best wishes to you both.
