[quote=Anonymous]My DD (now 10) has the exact same issue. It was very bad until recently - she has come to accept it a bit better with maturity. She spent a lot of her time looking for all the speakers in the school so she would know where to avoid. She begged not to be at school on those days. Firstly, let the teachers (counsellor/nurse/administrators as well) know. Make sure they realize it is a very serious issue for this child. Secondly, don't entertain the idea of keeping him home. It won't help to get past the fears. Realize that the build up is the worst part. Make sure you talk through it afterwards so he acknowledges that it wasn't as bad as he expected each time. Finally, consider getting him some cognitive behavior therapy so he can manage his fears. Fear of loud noises is really tough for some kids - and something a lot of people don't understand. Good luck. [/quote]
