My four year old is becomming afraid of everything. It started with the smoke alarm at her preschool. When they had a fire drill, she lost it and was screaming to get out. I know those alarms are scary..they are loud, so her reaction was understandable. Since then, she has become scared off many other things, and I don't just mean scared, but litterally frozen with fear. If we go somewhere and she hears someones watch beep, or a microwave beep, she panics! I left the water running in the sink to wash dishes and she had the same reaction! If someone lights a candle, she freaks out! This may seem silly to some, but I honestly don't know what to do? I have talked to her and we have discussed her fears, but if something happens, such as a beep, she panics. We went to eat at McDonld's a while back and there was a soft humming noise from the a/c. She started trembling and refused to eat or play there! I just need some advice on what to do. I know fears at this age are normal, but her fears seem to be consuming her life! I have to be careful where ever we go b/c chances are, we are going to hear something that will scare her and our day will be over! Any suggestions would help!
