[quote=Anonymous]How can I help dd here?  She just turned 10.  A couple of nights ago, a stink bug crawled on her in her bed while she was trying to go to sleep.  She is very frightened of stink bugs.  I let her sleep with me that night.  Last night, she got in bed, but looked extremely worried - sitting up and not lying down.  So again, I said ok why don't you sleep with younger dd.  Well older dd kept waking up all night long, getting out a flashlight to look for stink bugs, and then insisted she saw one on younger dd.  So I moved them both out of that bedroom, and we settled down to sleep in our king bed for the night.  10 year old dd still had a lot of trouble sleeping, and when I woke her up this morning, she said yes glad to finally get up.

I plan on looking very carefully for stink bugs, and we always tell her how harmless they are.  But for some reason, she has an irrational fear of stink bugs.  We really don't have that many, just one or two here and there.  Any helpful hints?  [/quote]
