Hi all,
I need some advice on how to help DS overcome the fear and I guess the trauma of encountering a burglar. The story: DH and DS were returning home; burglar was in the house, dropped everything and had to rush out. DS and DH, as they entered, heard someone in the house, and went out to avoid physical confrontation, the burglar ran off, passing them by, screaming. Nothing was stolen in the end, no one hurt, but DS is affected (understandably).
DS now would not sleep in his bed, and wants someone to accompany him around the house. Are their resources to read, places to go to help him - and me? I don't really know what I shall tell him that can help.
