Hi all,
My 5yo DD has been fine going to the toilet on her own, but suddenly wants me to go with her. She is especially bad when the window is open, I think she thinks cats are going to get in (scared of cats, long story!). I have reassured her that nothing is in the bathroom, I was in there 5 mins ago etc etc but nothing doing.
Two questions really - one, is this a developmental thing at her age? She has just started school. Two - how would you handle it? My gut feeling is to pander to it and go with her until the phase passes but am open to other suggestions?
TIA
