  • Missing Daddy: A Toddler's Perspective

    QUESTION

    My daughter is 16 months old. My husband's been off work a few months and soon will be starting again. At times he may be away from home for two weeks at a time.

    She is VERY attached to him. If she notices he is gone she has a melt down. Today he left for work before she woke up and it was just a rotten day. She pounded on the bedroom door, screamed...

    Do you have any suggestions that might make her transition easier on everyone?
