[quote=Anonymous]Anyone dealt with this in an early elementary kid? It's gotten worse with time, not better, and become a source of stress in the family. We live in a neighborhood with a ton of dogs and stuff like walking to the playground can be stressful. We don't have a dog and only a few of our friends do, so somewhat minimal opportunities to help build comfort through exposure. Is this something that goes away with time or should we be doing more to address it. It's intense fear, not just a general wariness, to the point that I now find myself tensing up when I see a dog coming down the sidewalk even though I am not afraid of dogs, just because I know DC will have a strong reaction.[/quote]
