[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 205328, member: 1233"] I have always disliked the phrase, "toughen him/her up". It just seems harsh and unneeded to me. When children have their needs met, then they are secure enough to go explore the world. That happens later with some kids. Listen to your mommy gut. Put the sleeping bag by the bed. Do whatever YOUR child needs to help him feel safe and secure - as long as you are looking at giving him TOOLS to handle the problems at the same time. The tools can be medications, or therapy, or whatever, but they are crucial. [/QUOTE]
