The little woman had her intake appt. at the Children's Center today. It was pretty much the same as the little man's except there are different issues involved. Depression and anxiety run in both sides of her family. I love how I never put these things together until I do.
What I learned was that children exposed to drugs can become super picky eaters and highly sensitive. Wait....what? I know that the little woman had some exposure. I also know she did not have nearly the amount of exposure as her brother did. But sometimes it isn't about the amount of exposure but the when of the exposure.
So counseling starts next week for her. For now we are going to see if she learns some coping mechanisms for the anxiety that she learned as a coping mechanism. What a circle. Here is hoping for a little peace for both of their little brains.
