well, we all will wish him tons of big hugs ((()))
maybe they will help. poor little guy.

My prayers go out to the mother and her boys. You are a good neighbor.

There was a cute idea for a tag toy on QB. the title of the topic was "Baby tag toy" and it was posted by gailmitchel. She also had the site of where she got the turorial. It's really cute with fuzzy fabric for the lion face on the front and shiny fabric on the back. I think she put a loop on hers so it could fasten to something. This might be just what your looking for?

my oldest had seperation issues and i would send him to daycare with a "kiss". just a small square of paper. i'd put on lipstick and blot my lips on it. then kiss him. i'd tape the paper to his shirt. the daycare lady said he would rub it on his face during the day and would be alright. kinda strange, but it worked for him. (i don't even wear lipstick, just did it for him)

Can three-year olds also suffer from depression ?

something small enough to put on his wrist would technically be considered a Choking hazard...he needs a teddy with different feet/fabrics!

I'm sure they can but he seems fine the rest of the time but I will mention it.

Thanks to you all for your suggestions and concern. I made a comfort band and gave it to him on Sunday. It's about 5"x 7" and has minkie on one side and the soft furrie fabric for making stuffed animals on the other side. I sewed 7 different fabric loops of different textures in hopes that one would make he feel better. I then sewed velcro on so he can take it off and put it on by himself. He was very happy when I gave it to him and his mom can spray perfume on if he wants. Cross your fingers and pray this works.
Thanks again.
