sickness
Atishoo, it's a tricky one. Our 10-year-old daughter has a similar problem with car sickness, she is convinced she's going to throw up before she even sets foot in the car. Noticed recently that if she listens to her iPod, draws, reads or even texts her friends on my mobile, she completely forgets about her troubles until she stops doing any of the above and then she's "feeling unwell" again. I can only echo the other posts that distraction seems to be the way to go. How about this for a suggestion - give your little girl a challenge by suggesting she is in total control of her feelings and if she can overcome the sickness then she is doing a fantastic job. I think that makes kids feel a bit more responsible (but I am no child psychologist so don't quote me). Good luck anyway and best wishes
