[quote=Anonymous]Lean in on empathy - "I know honey, I miss you too!" Give her something to focus on - a special little trinket or stone she can keep in her pocket and you have a matching one. When you each hold it you know the other person is thinking of you. Or take an old shirt and cut off the buttons and give her one "so you always have a piece of me with you" (and so you have replacements when the button gets lost!) Yes to the occasional coming to your office to see you. Also, tell her you're going to devote special time just for her every day when you get home. 10 (or 15) minutes to do anything she wants to do with you. Just a few minutes go a remarkably long way to helping the child feel really seen and valued. I've been there! Don't beat yourself up. :-)[/quote]
