[quote=Anonymous]Op I have a nine year old. We live in a condo that has one floor only. His bedroom is in the back of the house at the end of the hallway. He doesn't want to go to his room and play alone because he's scared. He'll go back there and grab stuff and bring it out by himself with no problem, but he usually won't go back there and stay for very long. I also leave him home alone while I run to the store or a few errands (never longer than an hour and a half yet, but I'm sure by the time he's 10 I will). He stays home alone because he prefers it over coming with me to do boring errands. This started with 15 minute trial periods when he was 8 and built up. We have about 20 channels that include at least 5 PBS channels, some foreign language channels and NBC, so no scary movies or anything. I think it's normal and I am not worried about my ds at all. I just try not to make a big deal about it and I also tell him I remember being scared of stuff at his age. I've also told him some stories of things my brothers did to exacerbate my fears and have a little laugh about it with him.[/quote]
