    How can I comfort my niece?
    My little niece is sad because her dad works in Nashville TN and her mom had to go but she couldn't go with them. They left yesterday and they'll be back in a few weeks but she can't sleep and she's holding a picture of her mom and dad. She always sleeps with her mom and if she has a bad dream her mommy holds her and her daddy sings to her. She's scared and she can't sleep with out her mommy. She's afraid they might not come back. This is the first time she's been away from them. She's holding the picture close to her chest and she cried " mommy ". Why is she wanting her mommy? How can I comfort her? She's 5 years old.

    How can I comfort my niece?
    My little niece is laying down in bed and she's on the internet on her iPod looking at her favorite band and she looks kind of sad. She looks like she's going to cry. She's holding her stuffed animal tight and she looks scared too. What's wrong with her? How can I comfort her? She's 5 years old.

    Start by finding out what's wrong - why is she sad?

    Where are her parents?

    I am quite frankly VERY concerned. Is this niece the daughter of the man you have a crush on, the one you cried over, the one who wouldn't dance with you on your birthday? https://www.askmehelpdesk.com/marria...ry-628588.html

    I think your contact with his daughter is VERY inappropriate.

    I'm sorry your niece is sad I would first walk in to her room and find out what she is viewing on the internet .you can never be to careful there a lot of people with bad intentions . Ask to please stop for a minute turn off her iPod and give her a hug and kiss let her know that she can tell you anything that's bothering her and its OK we all get sad sometimes have a talk with her remember she's just 5 and spend some time doing something you both enjoy together she's lucky to have someone that loves her as much as you do

    All sort of other issues of 5 year old always sleeping with mom.
    You really don't need to do anything, let her get used to her not being there, find ways to keep her busy, let photo be on shelf to look at, not carry all the time.

    Now I'm confused - this is NOT the same question that was posted yesterday. Yesterday the question was about watching an I-pod and crying.

    Did a thread get deleted? If so, my answer remained behind.

    That is very odd. I read the original post as well. Nothing was mentioned about dad in TN, or mom being gone, etc.. Completely different situation was described.

    There was a deleted post that was a duplicate of the original post. It has been restored for posterity.

    My bad. There were multiple posts and one had more info than the other as you can see above. Its often the case that posters have multiple threads about the same thing. They are easy to miss.

    Sorry for the confusion folks!
