My 8 year old baby is scared of a lot of things too. I think it's gotten worse the older he's gotten. He hides in the bathroom during every storm. During the last really bad storm I found him in a shoe box in the back of my closet! He also wakes us up in the middle of the night if a car is loud going down the street or some other weird sound. We just try to comfort him when he's scared by holding him. Sometimes i just let him go to his comfort spot (the bathroom, a shoebox, or wherever) and let him come out when he's ready. |
