Honestly at my wits end. My child is terrified of all bugs and flying things. We have watched shows with bugs in to try and show they are friendly. We try and help her understand them. They won’t hurt her and she doesn’t need to like them they will go away.
Sometimes she just freaks and runs back or to us but other times it’s awful. Today she went upstairs to her room I was in the kitchen and she began screaming. Actually screaming like she was seriously hurt. There was an ant on her floor. She’s now refusing to go in the bathroom without someone as there was a moth which we got rid off but she doesn’t trust it. She doesn’t want to play in the garden as there’s bugs. Her answer is she doesn’t ‘love bugs’ we’ve tried to explain she doesn’t need to but her reactions are getting worse. Any little black anything -fluff anything she freaks and doesn’t believe us if we say it’s not a bug
im at my wits end. She starts school next week and they do a lot of play outside time. I’m not there to help her and she’s just getting worse. She literally screams like she’s seriously injured herself. I don’t know how to help her
has anyone had this?
