Answer

I wouldn't say scared of a ton of things, but definitely more than she used to. She is terrified of flies and other bugs that fly, she's scared of some men, going into a dark room, and apparently there was a ghost in her room the other night she was afraid of. I know there's more but I'm drawing a blank on the others.

Answer

My kid had developed a fear of what seems like everything at 2.5 and while she's still scared at 3.5 we worked on getting over the fears. Scared if bugs? Swat them and say shoo instead of scream. Scared of the dark? Let's turn on the nightlight. Scared of monsters? We got an incredibear (Incredibles themed bear from build a bear) and told her he will watch over her while she sleeps. Scared of doing something new? It's okay, hold mommy/daddy/trusted friends hand. Like I said, it doesn't cure the fear, but it sure has helped quite a bit.

Answer

So normal my little one is 2 next month and he’s sacred of fluff, eyes, Halloween ghosts and certain noises! Between 2 and 3 they’re figuring emotions and how to respond to them! Just a lot of reassurance and distraction techniques!
