My daughter is 18 and about to graduate from high school. This past winter my wife and I were out and she was home alone. She heard a noise and after our dog stopped barking she called us right away. When we arrived at home we found footprints in the snow outside of my office window. Since that time my daughter is deftly afraid of being alone in the house at night. She is heading off to college in the fall and her anxiety is getting worse and worse. Before this event she applied for honors housing (alone) and received it. She wants to get a roommate now but the college says it is too late. I would really appreciate some new ideas besides the ones I have tried already. I have tried telling her to double check everything and then do something relaxing to take her mind off of her fear such as listen to her IPOD, read an engrossing book, watch something funny on TV, etc. She claims it's not really helping thought. Any new suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
