How to help a child with fear of dying?
by linde218, Jun 29, 2009 08:51PM
Over the last month, on a nightly basis at bedtime, my 10 year old son voices his fear that he is going to die and not wake up. He does have mild asthma and nothing traumatic has happened that we know of. We try to assure him that he is fine and there is no reason to feel this way but he cries uncontrollably until he finally falls asleep. Most nights it is a 2-hour ordeal. This is VERY stressful for us as parents not to mention his little sister who is right next door.
We are at a loss on how to help him. Note that we have contacted the doctor about this and they do not find any physical reason for this to be happening all of a sudden.
