Hi! Today my mother was taking care of his brothers daughter who is 2 years old. My parents call her everyday to our home and take care of her, they are in deep attachment with the kid. It's our responsibility to take care of the kid. My mom and the kid where claiming the stairs and the kid missed her steps and fell down had a small bleeding in her nose (minor incident) .And after a while kid is alright but my mom was so shocked and she was crying very badly. She has lost her mind. The kid was alright but my mom did not keep the issue down. She was crying with panic. Her voice was breaking and she was not in her present mood. I never saw her like that before. She is very humorous and smiling all the time. Looking at her behavior I was very upset and I did not know how to convince her to stop but I fear for what happened, she is more compassionated with the kid and I fear I can't see my mom her tears and everything when she bust out her self. What should I have to do? Should I tell the kids parents not to bring her kid home and to maintain distance (kids parents know her kid fell they are fine with it) I fear about my mom behavior it's not at all normal. How to deal with it? I want to keep my mom happy.

From your description it appears that your mother is feeling guilty about the whole episode. You need to tell her that it is not her mistake and she has been taking child's care nicely till now. Accidents may happen. It is not her fault. I hope there is no past history of mental disorder.

Good Morning ~ The kind of reaction that your mother had when the kid fell and had a minor injury just goes to indicate how attached in a pathological way she is with the kid. The more important thing is the kind of psychological effect this kind of reactive behavior would have on the mind of the child. It would bode well for the parents of the child to care of the child like their own and not have her be with grandparents who usually pamper (but not excessively like your parents, especially mother). I wonder if your mother needs a psychological assessment as well.

YOu have to calmly make your mother understand it is not her fault an nothing happened to the child and relax her mind. Mediation can help

It appears like acute stress reaction, if the symptoms do not remit and continue, kindly consult a psychiatrist for treatment. All the best.
