[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Oddly, with little kids who have a trauma induced worry, really focusing on it can help. My daughter had a medical incident and became super paranoid about medical equipment -- would not even walk by a blood pressure machine at the grocery store. But she also became obsessed with books about the hospital/doctors/etc, like Curious George goes the hospital, Clifford goes to the hospital, Dora goes to the hospital, etc. etc. It seemed to help her deal with it and put it all into a safe and understandable context. [/quote] This. She will process the issue by exploring it. Let her tell the story over and over. Draw pictures, write about it, etc.[/quote]
