As it says really. My 8 yr old is lively and pretty confident and outgoing, with lots of friends, and doing well in school, so generally fine. However, she is really scared of lots of things. They are things that are scary, illnesses, murderers, road accidents, house fires, but they seem to be weighing a bit too heavily on her, disturbing her sleep and so on. We have talked. I try not to dismiss her fears, but to rationalise them. I know that if an advert about checking smoke alarms comes on the radio, it can cause problems for example. Any advice ok how to proceed?
