If you have been babying him or trying to make him "feel better" about something he is afraid of, it may very well be the reason why his fear is getting worse and encompasses so many things.
I just pm'd you back, so let me know what you want to do. |
By constant reassurance, this is what I said and what I meant:
Pat him on the head and tell him, "It's all right." He should eventually not be such a scared little boy. Use the same wording every time and he will eventually understand. Just be nonchalant and go about what you are doing. Maybe this will help some. I hope.
