Care for my child

[Melinda1]

Hi everyone, I am very glad to be a part of this forum. My husband passed away when my daughter was 3 years old. From that time onwards I used to give her a special attention and care. For every father, their daughter is a princess and he always considered our daughter as a princess. He used to take her out, play with her and would always find some time to engage her in different fun filled activities.
After his demise, we were alone and was totally depressed. Now she is 7 years old and has not yet recovered from the shock. But I don't want my daughter to be like this. She is my life and I want to treat her the way my hubby used to do. I am working in an IT company and sometimes I get late in the evening. So I use to send her to a child care center here in Vaughan. This child care center provides after school programs. They also make her engage in some activities too.
Are there any other ways to make her happy? Has anyone been through this situation? Please share your experience. Thanks

May be you could spend some quality time with her. Take her out for a lunch, buy her some gifts.!

The Big Brothers-Big Sisters program is wonderful and I highly recommend it.  My son was in it for 7 years.  The program is for children ages 7-16 with only one parent.  See if there's a program for it in your area.  We started attending the same church as the Big Brother, and I think that church and the "church family", and the youth programs are a wonderful influence on children, emotionally, psychologically, and spiritually. 
My son took violin lessons, and his "Big Brother" was very supportive, such as attending recitals, etc.  I also think that music lessons are important for a child's development.  Later my son went to college and became a professional violinist.    You can never take the place of your late husband, but you can be the "best Mom ever" and help your child to develop her talents and gifts and become a "wonderful human being".
