Deborah - is the blue light bulb the plant light? I couldn't find any other at the store - or the party light??? We are in the process of looking for a horse or a dog. The riding place went out of business and noone else will take a child so young. I thought an animal would really help with her...

Deborah - you have an incredible memory! Yes she is adopted, and yes always has had separation issues and lots of anxiety. It never really has left her, just diminished in intensity. I think it was her mother whom she lost in a past life, perhaps she is getting to be the age when it happened, I...

Thanks for writing, I feel this too, but how do I give her comfort when death took me away once and if we all will die it will take her away again - I can't live and say I won't die someday or she won't die someday. I just don't know how to decrease her anxiety. Jill

Perhaps therapy would be warranted here, as much as I have tried to help her deal with this it is beyond my scope as a parent to help her. She craves the socialization of being with others, but her response when I leave is out of the ordinary "separation anxiety". I feel she is too young to...

This happens whenever I drop her off anywhere, I really think she was separated either from myself or from her mother in another life whereby she was "dropped off" and her mother/caregiver never returned - perhaps abandoned her due to financial reasons or died while away. I have asked her...

Last time I wrote to this forum was when my daughter was 2 years old. Now she is 3.5 and is still suffering the same separation anxiety fears when I part from her. I have finally placed her in a preschool setting, but 2 months later, everytime I leave, she is at the door screaming for me to...
