  • 3yr olds cant understand that stuff, so but her mind else where u show her a lot more luv.my grandaughter stays with me cause her mom picked living with an ex over her.shes 5 now and doesnt know why she doesnt live with mommy,but, i show her that her papaw and mamaws house has all the luv she needs,and believe me shes a lot happier.
  • I would talk to her parent(s) and let them know that you're worried about it. She may not be ready to "deal" with the issue yet, so she doesn't want to talk. Let mommy or daddy know that maybe spending more time with her is the solution and that *they* need to talk to her about what happened and try to make her understand that it's okay and that mommy and daddy still love her. She may be missing one of them and doesn't know how to express that yet. Try to have her do things she enjoys - cartoons, toys, getting out of the house and playing...at that age, it's best to try to take her mind off of things. It doesn't solve the problem, but will give her a small peace of mind for a little while.
  • Make sure you reinforce to her that it wasn't anything SHE did. Kids blame themselves for everything that happens that they don't understand. Keep telling her that mom and dad both love her very much, and that their seperation has nothing to do with her or anything she's done. Make sure the parents reinforce this to her as well, and have them explain to her that they still love each other but everyone will be happier if they live away from each other.
  • What a shame, poor little mite, just let her know how much her parents and you obviously love her, talk to her parents and explain that they really need to talk to the little one and reinforce how much they love her. She is too young to understand, but she just needs to know how much she is loved.
