[quote=Anonymous]You can't explain away her fears with lectures about how the classroom snake couldn't possibly get to her bedroom. Don't waste time getting her to agree that they are irrational ("There's no such thing as monsters, right!") and thinking that will settle her down. This just compounds her anxiety because it ramps up her bad feelings by compounding her isolation. Anxiety and fears are irrational by their very nature. Help her feel more powerful and let her know she is safe and protected, always, in your home. Nothing can harm her here. You will always protect her. [/quote]
