I had an accident last week and dd was involved. She is 3 and is finding it hard to get over teh accident. Thankfully no one was hurt although her shoulder was sore where the seatbelt worked.
Last night she said that she thinks about the accident all the time and wants to speak about it a lot. I've tried explaining that it was only an accident and that lots of people have different accidents and giving her examples, but how do I help her deal with it so it doesn't play on her mind for too long? The car is still outside and is quite visibly damaged, but I'm hoping to get rid of it this week and am hoping that it will stop triggering her memories of it.
We had the accident whilst I was taking her to nursery so consequently she has been a bit quiet and tearful there. I feel like I've really let her down when I should have been protecting her
