With all the stuff on the news about the swine flu Brodie is becoming more and more upset about the possibility of getting sick. How do I help ease his stress? I know that our psychologist said let Brodie get stressed its better than me getting hurt but it makes me upset that he is becoming so distressed. Oh I know I can't wrap him in cotton wool but still there has to be something I can do.
To be honest I thought that Brodie would freak a bit more this week because Angus hasn't been feeling 100%. I even kept Angus home from soccer practise and also from school today.
Honestly how do you put a kids mind at ease when you see all the hype on tv about this piggy flu? I had to remind Brodie of when Mark had the flu last year. Mark was awfully sick and bedridden for days. He had no energy to do anything. Even eating a little was an effort. Once I explained this to Brodie he understood a little better (I hope). It's so hard to know what he is thinking.
Brodie is such a sensitive kid. I would hate to see his reaction if the flu came a little closer to home. Let's hope that we don't have to worry about that ..
