Looking for advice on how to help 8 yo daughter to settle. She is becoming distressed when thinking about yucky stuff like cuts and blood. She can’t seem to get thoughts out of head. Tonight it is disturbing her sleep!

It sounds like Intrusive Thoughts which are quite upsetting for adults never mind children. It's more and more common for kids to suffer this today....or perhaps we just talk about it more.

Read that and have a Google to see other methods of helping her. x
