My 7 year old daughter had a sickness bug in February that lasted about 3 weeks; the last week of which was mostly confined to (possibly imaginary) nausea rather than real sickness. The illness has unfortunately had a lasting psychological effect, in that she is now greatly nervous about being or feeling sick (which can then of course happen psychosomatically). She has just been told that her class is going on a school trip next month, which will involve a coach journey of just over an hour. Normally she would be over the moon and very excited, but she?s really upset because of her worry of feeling sick. She associates coach journeys with children being sick, which is a fair enough conclusion, but she doesn't suffer from travel sickness. We have had a rational conversation about it, whereby she knows that she should of course go and that she is unlikely to be sick. But she says she won?t even enjoy it when she gets there because she?ll just be worrying about the journey home. She seems generally a little insecure about the whole trip, saying that she doesn?t want to travel that far without a family member, which again is unlike her. I feel so sorry for her ? she knows that it?s a real treat but she just wants a way out. I said to her that I would have a good think about it and come up with a suggestion to help her to deal with the day. I?ve already told her about travel sickness tablets, but she says that won?t work. Can anyone offer me any suggestions? Just to be clear, she has not actually been sick since February!
