Ideas on how to ease mom's worries about "missing" child? Mom is convinced a girl she is reponsible for wandered off today. She doesn't remember her name and sometimes it's someone else's child, sometimes her child. I tried convincing her the children she knows are all home with their parents. She's quite worried, of course. Ideas on how to calm her? I've tried distracting conversation. Guess I'll keep trying that. Ideas?
Not sure if that will work, but it sounds like you are open to suggestions...
Thanks for your ideas. Helps a lot to brainstorm.
Oh, here's an idea. I'll bet I could record a message on my cell phone using audio recorder, masking my voice some how...then pretend I am retrieving my phone messages and she could listen to the message ... "Hi, I picked up Mary and she's with me. Thanks a lot. Mary sends kisses." however this might backfire eventually.
