[quote=Anonymous]Here’s the thing - life constantly changes. Your child is crying and upset because you are setting the expectation that things are going back to normal soon, and they likely aren’t. Stop handing her adult expectations and disappointments, and she will fare better. She may grow up in a world where masks are the norm, where global travel is a huge undertaking, where school is online - but it will be her world, and that of her contemporaries. Stop treating it and explaining it as an Eeyore moment, and treat it matter of factly, with a positive spin. You are projecting your fears and sadness upon her, and don’t even recognize it. She is reading the room, and It sounds like the room is a very dark place right now. It sounds like you have your own issues, so even if you can lean positive right now, at least try to land at neutral. [/quote]
