My dd is 6. She's a bright girl. She has a lot to deal with as my DS has high functioning ASD. Although he's s clever boy, his ASD can sometimes be overwhelming.
Dd often takes a bit of a backseat. So, to compensate a little I have often treated her to a little cuddly toy. Not all the time but now and again. She enjoyed it, quite a little 'mummy'
DH decided he'd had enough of this though and told her it was a waste of money. Dd took it to heart. Now she won't even go into a toy shop, almost to the point of hyperventilating. I've tried to reassure her that it's ok, so has DH, as he feels awful. But it's made no difference.
I've today suggested a party, just a few school friends at home, for her birthday in a few weeks. She started crying, said no, it's a waste of money, she doesn't want anything for Christmas
She was bullied at her previous school. She was so confident. It's so sad to see her bring like this. I don't know how to help her
