Help with my nephews fear!

[Rose138]

Hello all,

I'm looking for some advice please. My nephew is 2 years old and at the moment my sisters only child. My sister suffered domestic violence from my nephews dad and he is no longer on the scene. My nephew saw lots that he shouldn't have and is very anxious of men that he doesn't know.

Over the past few weeks he has developed a real fear of anything moving in the wind/breeze- curtains, nets, washing on the line. My sister really doesn't know what to do to help him. He cries, screams, shakes, runs to his room if at home.

Any advice would be so helpful please. Thank you. Xxx
