[QUOTE="susiestar, post: 127346, member: 1233"] Sorry she is not feeling well from the sun. It IS a natural consequence though. Hopefully at some point she will be well enough to actually learn from natural consequences. When Jess was 4 and B was 7 my brother was still drinking (unknown to my parents). I had to fly back to OH an the 4th of July, with newborn thank you. My mom and dad let my bro take Jess and B to a lake for a "couple of hours". They GAVE him sunscreen, put it on before the kids left, made sure he had it with him. Due to the drinking he kept them out ALL day, in the hot Oklahoma sun, and refused to let them use sunscreen (Have NO idea why). The kids ended up with HUGE blisters, a miserable 2 weeks with grandma and grandpa, doctor visits, and due to the dermatologist recommendation, 2 YEARS of NO sun in the summer, no swimming except at night, no swim lessons, no sports, NADA. 2 YEARS. Maybe, if you can tell her about this, she might understand the importance of sun protection and head off the next one? (by the way, my bro was not allowed to be alone with my kids until he had YEARS of sobriety, and had made what amends he could. He came very close to being in police custody over this - if I had been in town he WOULD have been. Now he is VERY careful with sunscreen for himself, his daughter, and my kids, no matter WHAT they are doing.) Hugs totoro, hope you can maybe use this at some point to help her understand. You can show her a gold dollar and tell her that Jess had blisters THAT size!! Susie [/QUOTE]
