He has always fought being sick when he has a bug & gets quite panicky just before he's sick, but I put that down to the fact it was unpleasant for him.
Just recently he has started panicking when others are sick though, and I fear he is developing a phobia here.
Last time his younger brother was ill, he shut himself in his playroom crying, because he was scared he might catch it.
His TA told me that he backed right away from a child in class after hearing he was going home due to illness, and then last night he said that he was worried because a child in his class felt sick & he is worried that he will now catch it.
I am getting quite concerned about this now, and don't quite know the best way to deal with it.
