I dont know whats happened. She is just coming up to 4 and the last few months she has become a bit girlie. But it's getting out of hand. She seems to have panic attacks over all sorts of things. We paid to watch the disney on ice show recently and when they dimmed the lights to start the show she completely freaked. So much so that she was scaring the children around us and so we had to remove her before the show even started and we missed it. Yet she sleeps in the dark no problems
At disneyland she refused to go on any rides. Literally screaming if we tried to put her on any.
If there is fighting on TV she will walk out of the room and sit on the stairs. I'm not talking street fighter stuff but light kids programmes / coronation street. She then spends hours asking questions about acting and how it all works.
She is scared stiff of the disney programmes because of the wicked stepmothers and again asks loads of questions.
She hasn't had any trauma at home and the only change to her routine is that she started nursery in September.
Please can someone please tell me this is normal for her age? I know her analysing is but she is so genuinely scared of everything and only me or her dad can calm her. She is an extremely outgoing child otherwise more so than many I have met and so I just dont understand this underlyinf fear and I dont know how to solve it. All I say at the moment is that me and Daddy would never put her at risk which she accepts and understands but because of the sheer panic cant face doing anything
