It made it easier to talk about some of the facts and feelings.<br /><br />Amy - I love how your daughter is trying to put time together in her mind. It's such a hard thing for little ones to wrap their heads around, isn't it? Reminds me of my mom saying that I was a twinkle in her eye.<br /><br />have fun - I'm glad you liked these recommendations!Mary Ann Scheuerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09592162867997740561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979108620698271598.post-62176766575755453062009-05-20T22:00:33.857-07:002009-05-20T22:00:33.857-07:00Okay, these authors are brave, especially the It's...Okay, these authors are brave, especially the It's Not the Stork! folks! I'm glad to hear someone's tackling these questions with sensitivity.

I think the heart of the problem is that she can't fathom a time when she didn't exist, but I've been trying to answer her accurately. I think she's getting it, but some carefully structured narrative and visual aids are probably necessary at this point. I'm going to try <I>It's Not the Stork!</I> and see how that goes.Amy Planchak Graveshttp://ayuddha.net/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4979108620698271598.post-40738002443856441922009-05-18T21:54:00.000-07:002009-05-18T21:54:00.000-07:00Nice collection of books on the same subject.

Luckily, "too much information" (at least in book format) goes straight over their heads.BookChookhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06230711251425187241noreply@blogger.com
