jennyjenkinz Posted January 30, 2012 Share Posted January 30, 2012 Hi there, i have 2 children that i currently mind. They have not had any contact with their mum for 2 years (one child is 2 and the other is 3 and a half). The Mum has just come on the scene again and i would like to be able to support the children and the dad with this situation. The youngest child calls me Mummy (I remind her of my name) and since seeing their mother for the first time this weekend the older child has started to call me mummy. I can understand how confused the children must be as my daughter calls me mummy. I would like to share some books with the children to help them understand their situation a)living with daddy b)meeting mum and getting to know her. Do any of you fabulous guys have ideas of books that i could use? I am also thinking of doing a storybook of their own (along the lines of a social story), thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Panders Posted January 31, 2012 Share Posted January 31, 2012 I think making your own social storybook for the children will be an extremely good idea and if any of the books recommended above can give you ideas as to what to express in it that would be good too.
