I remember well the times when Ebony has sleep terrors (hers weren't necessarily at night actually they usually weren't at night). The last one was in April this year so they may not be ended yet - but I must say I have ALWAYS picked her up and held her through the fighting and the thrashing (sometimes 1-2 hours). On a few occasions we have fallen asleep together through TOTAL emotional exhaustion. For Ebony it's the changes in routine most of the time. BUT - I look at her today - I look at the beautiful, loving, caring, gentle little girl I have who now, FINALLY, comes for kisses (18 months home) and hugs and I know that even if I haven't yet broken the chain that causes the terrors - I AM winning and you will too. Hang in their precious mummy - you're victory WILL come. xx JenJen Bootehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10878194550972878244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6053132667255985616.post-76129939008415851762008-07-03T22:00:00.000+10:002008-07-03T22:00:00.000+10:00No one ever said, being a parent would be easy!

Let alone, a poor scared little child, from a different background and country!!!<BR/><BR/>Good thing, I'm up for a challenge, and of course hugs, kisses and smiles! <BR/><BR/>You are an awesome Mum. You ought to be congratulated, for seeing the signs, and actually doing something about it!

I think Natalie and Alice feel bonded to us, but are a little more vulnerable and less secure about change. When I look into the face of my five year old, I have hope. In my five year old's face I see complete trust and love and I know one day I will see the same in Natalie's and you will see it in Alice's brave little face...its just going to take a little more time and it will get better. It sounds like you are doing all the right things to help her with this.<BR/>Take care. CTG.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
