Thanks for your comments! I suppose I've been unsure about how to talk to him about his fears because I'm afraid that I could make it worse. I like the idea of talking about the plot of the story before reading it and I think we will try that. We make sure to stress his saftey at home, that mommy and daddy will keep him safe as he brings up the different things that worry him, and this helps him feel better, but unfortunately, I think it also contributes to attachment issues. I struggle sometimes to find the right words with him to discuss difficult topics. While I know he has the vocabulary to understand, I worry that he is not emotionally old enough to process the information. This week he developed his own coping mechanism to things that scare him by declaring that they are all imaginary, which is not the most healthy approach either. I'm going to try getting him to talk with me about some of these issues and see how it goes. Thanks!
