We live close the countryside and water (Devon). Spend a lot/mist of outdoor time on the countryside/by water. We see a LOT of bees, wasps, and a few dragonflies. It's that time of year and it's only going to get worse.
And DDs fear of them is getting worse, she screams, runs, grabs me crying 'mummy mummy !' Has just this second thrown some lemonade over while pushing it away in hysterics as a wasp was near )in pub). Her behaviour is getting worse and it's pretty much ending everything we are doing.
She is also becoming more clingy generally, clinging onto me I new situations, where she used to be confident doing new things.
Any tips on how to help her manage her fears and help me not get cross
