My new thread - The lost world!

[AbbysDad]

sm,

Thanks for you replies. Lots of good stuff there. I do think recent events to play apart. She does have anger and shows it sometimes when something doesn't go her way. She never had this anger before. I do tell her I love her and am not going anywhere....I say this everyday. I even had her sleep in my bed (but therapists said not a good idea on a regular basis). I agree.

But the shyness has always been there. Since D was 2 she's been like this. So shy in public and in groups. Yesterday was really a shock because it was her good friends party. Abby wouldn't even get in the group picture...all the other kids did. At times I wish we would've put her in more activities or any. I know she's not 5 yet so I still have time.

You are right about missing her mom....she doesn't say anything but I know its effecting her. Mommy is suddenly gone...what kid is not going to have reactions to this?

But you give me hope. School is the one place where he shyness slowly evaporated (for her at least). I was so shocked on Friday at how well she was at the graduation. She smiled the whole time and even participated in the singing. I guess being with those teachers for two years helped. I was a proud dad Friday!!!
