Hi, she is 6 years old and has a developmental delay of approx 2 years. She's also being assessed for ASD.
Recently, she's finding it hard to control her emotions. She crys if she hears certain types of music, usually soft love songs or classical. She'll have tears down her cheeks and say "that reminds me od Daddy, I miss Daddy". This is when he's at work. She does get to see him for 3 full days a week and he's in the mornings and evenings for a short time. She is home educated, and my DH has days off durig the week.
She tends to go from really hyper, laughing hysterically, making silly noises and jumping about, to very quiet and emotional. There hasn't been any changes that I can think of.
This doesn't happen every day but is becomming more frequent. It's nearly always music that sets her off, but she loves music. It's her favourate thing of all time.
Should I not let her listen to this kind of music? She doesn't cry every time, I suppose it depends how she's feeling. She can easily go from laughing to crying at times.
Is there any way of keeping her on more even keel? I do feel sorry for her when she's upset as it definatly isn't in any way put on. I'll give her a cuddle and talk to her about it and try to re assure her. Is that all I can do?
