She's a "glass half empty" sort of kid. Don't get me wrong, she's happy most of the time, but when faced with something she definitely assumes the worst pretty much always.
I'm not sure that she's particularly anxious beyond these specific fears. Though a fear of noises in the house means she is feeling anxious a lot of the time.
I guess I'm not sure how to help her manage it. I model being calm but sympathetic when she's faced with the direct fears, I encourage her to still navigate our home by herself, but I feel like things are getting worse and not better.
What sort of counseling would be recommended? Play based? Cognitive behavioral?
