Special Guardians How to explain to your child?
Posted: Sun Dec 02, 2012 2:46 am
Hi All, It's early days as our child is only 3 and has been with us since she was 1 but we have had questions about 'did she come out of my tummy?'.
My husband and I are Mammy and Daddy but she's our neice. with a special guardianship
I told her truthfully she came out of Mammy Ts tummy but we all cuddled her and loved her when she came out.
That has satisfied her curiosity for now but I'd like to know how you explained things or if there's a helpful website or book with ideas so we can be somewhat ready.
I'd like her to know the truth albeit gently and lovingly and only when she's ready.
I've already gained lots of help through this site with others going through the same challenges.
Thankyou,
