[QUOTE="DCUKMod, post: 2316508, member: 345386"] eshobabu - What a time you're both having. In UK, most of the hospital clinics have specialist teams for paediatrics, which include specialists, including psychologists. I'm not suggesting for a moment there is anything wrong in terms of how your daughter feels, but maybe such a professional could help with some tools and strategies to help you both on this path. Also, at the clinic near me, there is a very strong families group, where the children meet regularly, for play, trips, events, sports and so on, and clearly at those times, a parent, or parents will tag along. Many parents say these groups have really helped them to help their kids. It's also a grea way for those more newly diagnosed to see youngsters, like themselves, living very well with T1. Obviously, with COVID etc., at the moment, I doubt those groups will be meeting face-to-face, but I bet they are carrying on using Zoom calls and so on. Maybe have a chat with your daughter's team about how things are. I feel for you both. [/QUOTE]
