My daughter seems very confident & bright but is becoming increasingly scared in the eves at home. Last night she cldnt go to the loo without me (or let me go without her), cldnt be left in one room while I went into another even for a moment. She has always been very good at talking about her feelings but when I tried to discuss this with her she just burst into tears. She ended up sleeping in with me. She says that nothing has happended and she doesnt know why she is scared. She is very logical and I talked her through how safe the house is and that she wasnt alone but although she says she knows that is true she cant help but feel so very scared. Does anyone have any advice other than just reasurring her again and hoping that the time will pass?
