Please help...
My nephew (5ys old) has developed a sudden fear of things that he once used to love. Now when I say fear, it's actually quite more than that. It's to the point of anxiety.
My nephew is a very very smart child. Probably one of smartest ones I have ever met and I am not just saying this because he is my nephew.
Yesterday he had 3.5 hours of screaming, shaking, almost throwing up due to a new fear of frogs. They were going to leave the house to go grocery shopping and there was frog on the porch. After seeing it, this is what happened.
My sister is known to feed into things, but every week it is something else. Last week it was lady bugs, the week before that it was snails.
My Nephew used to love love love these things and was always an explorer looking for them.
The only thing that I can think of is that he recently lost his preschool teacher. the teacher was fired without much notice and left the school. I am wondering if this has something to do with it?>
Anyone ever deal with this? How did you deal with it and what do you think it could be caused from?
I am thinking maybe my sister should have him to go and talk to someone. I told her to talk to his teacher at the school now.
any ideas? Advice? thanks so much for reading....
