It's vital to your emotional health, and working out is soooo good for you.Sugar Magnoliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071565706988591786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-89519867745537314502010-06-27T18:14:22.998-07:002010-06-27T18:14:22.998-07:00I've read through quite a bit of your blog - O...I've read through quite a bit of your blog - Oia is absolutely beautiful! I'm looking forward to following your story.<br /><br />As for the separation anxiety - I have no advice. I can imagine how hard it is for you but you're right that you need to take time for yourself and she'll need to cope with separation eventually. <br /><br />There is a little girl who has been in the same daycare group as Bennett since he was about two. I remember that she would be crying every morning when I dropped Bennett off and usually still crying when I picked him up 3 hours later. After about 4 months it started to change gradually and now she never cries and is always smiling and quite happy to be there. I doubt that story is of much help but I just wanted to let you know that sometimes is seems to take a while for some kids to get over the separation anxiety. <br /><br />I hope it gets better for you soon...Barbarahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03431752394930775920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-67194304391543265812010-06-25T19:09:37.135-07:002010-06-25T19:09:37.135-07:00I do think separation anxiety will change with mor...I do think separation anxiety will change with more exposure...meaning, she will get used to it EVENTUALLY. But you have a real concern with the "what triggers a seizure?" comment. <br />Since you've done this a few times, can you relax and decide her screaming won't cause a seizure? That's a great piece of information, right? Also...as another plus side, her screaming will only increase her vocal exercise. We used to be thrilled when E would scream, b/c she was mute so long and her speech was so delayed. We called it "increasing her breath support" as a euphemism.<br />Would it help if you did go at a busier time? Maybe with more kids she would want to be around them--and forget about crying so much? <br />I know this breaks your heart. I hope it gets better soon.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07691875068944444424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4641518796258733974.post-83209830817250078012010-06-25T00:50:24.092-07:002010-06-25T00:50:24.092-07:00Tough love does suck, but as you say, separation i...Tough love does suck, but as you say, separation is inevitable so you might as well practice when it is worthwhile. People have to remind me to do things for me, even if it takes me away from my girls (I have a lot of guilt over being a working mom) and so I will remind you the way my people do for me - sometimes you really need to do things for yourself. It helps me that when it is something like exercise that I can tell myself I will be a better mother if I am healthy enough to do the job well. Hang in there Mo, and really she will get used to it.

Just some hugs from down a little down south....Maybe try shortening it and doing it more often? Just throwing out ideas?Candacehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04201448627487443779noreply@blogger.com
