[quote=Anonymous]I've posted about this before. My niece was terrified of elevators when she was four. We live on the 8th floor so taking the stairs when they came to visit was exhausting. My sister and BIL would try to talk my niece into getting into the elevator, explaining how safe it was and telling her how they understood her feelings but... One day, when our nanny agreed to take my niece and baby to the park, she just told my niece, "Oh stop - you're being silly. Get in the elevator." And my niece did! Seems we were encouraging her irrational fear by talking about it!! Sometimes we forget when we hire an experienced nanny that we may be first time parents but this is not the nanny's "first time at the rodeo"! [/quote]
