I don't know how old your daughter is. If she is fairly young (8 years old or less), it is quite possible that the new people in her life are causing her some stress. It may not be the 5 children so much the gentleman himself who is taking her Mom away from her (if only because of divided attention on weekends). Even if she is a bit older, she can be threatened by these changes and it can affect her by increasing her separation anxiety. After more time passes, she'll get used to the new situation and settle. To help speed that up, you can try using Emotional Coaching - talk to her about the changes that are going on and how that might make her feel. If she doesn't settle soon, I would also suggest taking her for some art therapy or a consultation with a psychologist. Sarah Chana
