7 year old aftaid to be by herself

7 year old aftaid to be by herself

My 7 year old daughter is very sensitive about scary movies. I am careful about what she sees, but recently she saw a scary movie "Signs" while at a friend's home, and she has become so afraid of the aliens in the movie that she refuses to go into a bathroom by herself.  Even before she saw that movie, she was afraid of being by herself.  

I have tried to gently challenge her to face her fears but this does not work. She understands that the aliens in the movie are not real.

I am concerned because if she cannot go into a bathroom by herself, what will she do when school starts?
