My son hates balloons popping at parties!

My DS has been to a few parties and each time it's been a massive disaster - screaming, crying and wanting to 'go home' especially when balloons pop..

I'm at a loss, all
The other kids join in and have fun - he is clung to my leg the whole time.. it's upsetting to see, I contain his feelings as much as I can but it's hard..

When it's supposed to be fun

Have you not considered asking him about it yet?

So he could tell you that they hurt his ears, for example?
