[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Yikes, 5:50, you are the ignorant one. No one said to snap out of it. Posters very responsibly suggested that OP work with her charge on his fear. And no one said it would be an easy fear to eradicate.

Try reading the thread next time before posting silly.

Phobias, by definition, are a disorder. Clearly, you don't know this. OP's charge is going to live a long time in a world with dogs. She would be doing him a great service by helping him understand and maybe overcome his fears. It won't be quick
and it won't be easy, but it's important to help him navigate the world confidently.[/quote]

NP.

17:55 did say that she thought the boy's fear needed to be conquered. It may not say "snap out of it" but I think we all understood the implication that he needs to "get over" his fear (which I strongly disagree with) and that is what 5:50 was responding to.

Maybe this boy has a phobia or maybe he is just aware that he is small and some dogs are big and their teeth are right about face-level. Only time will tell, but respecting his fear is the right way to go - not forcing him into terrifying situations in the name of overcoming it.[/quote]
