[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My 3.5 year old had a similar reaction when we had an incident in our apartment building. The alarms are crazy loud. What helped was talking about what to do during a fire and even practicing a fire drill, including gathering our cat, feeling the doors for heat, taking the stairs (not the building elevators), and exiting the building. It gave her a sense of empowerment to know what to do. Her daycare/preschool also had drills, so that helped as well. [/quote] I don't think I could find our cat because she hates loud noses and would dive for cover. If there is a fire, we are not looking for the cat.[/quote] So don't. :roll: [/quote]
