Re: Re: So scared - I think it's time for meds ----- separation anxiety

[Guest guest]

Joei scored very high for seperation anxiety. She even sleeps in my bed, but we

are working on that!

 

Anyway, it was suggested to give her something from home to keep with her. She

still loves her childhood blanket and they suggested we cut a piece of that and

make a bracelet. Well, she doesn't want that thing cut so that didnt work!

 

What we ended up doing was going and buying matching bracelets made from hemp. 

I wore one and she wore one. That way she could look down at that and know that

I was " still with her. " We kept them on without ever taking them off for about a

month before the anxiety started to lessen.  This could be done with hemp bought

from a craft store; plain hemp would be acceptable for a boy!  Joei and I had

beads on ours.

 

The pet rock is a great idea!
