Hello,

I'm wondering what to make of my DD7s life long intense fears. She seems react in very specific situations. For example, she had to leave her dance class yesterday because she became terrified while they were playing a game of 'monkeys'. The game involved acting like monkeys and picking fleas. I didn't witness the game but DD said she didn't like the way one of the kids was acting. She also is routinely frightened by movies and tv shows, including Arthur and other preschool shows that her DS3 watches. These shows/situations never frighten DS3 and I'm always surprised by the intensity of her reaction. But what I find most surprising is that she can read books with much more frightening plots. I'm guessing that she is reacting to the 'visuals'. Any thoughts?

Thanks, as always...
