What great news, thank you for letting us know,a Triumph!!You did well and it will get better.
Well, it worked! We took him to see a fireworks show and he did great! Of course, he did want to sit on my lap and a few times he buried his head into my chest but he'd peek right back out to see the lights! I just wanted to share. Of course, he's still afraid of thunderstorms and won't go to bed when there's one going on. That one we'll have to keep working on but he did great at the fireworks display!
Just thought I'd let you know!
Happy 4th of July!
Probably the Thunderstorm scared him a lot, he was asleep so he got woke up by it that scares anyone, continue the way you are treating him it will fade but its early days,if he is scared on Friday dont push it if hes in doors can he still see the lights if not theres always many years ahead for him to enjoy them. Keep reasurring him ,show him the sky at other times, show him the Full Moon, the Stars, at 4 explain to him the reason for Thunder and Lightening, and the weather,thre are kids books to read all about it, try to show him the reason for the Bangs and crashes,
