Well, clones would trip anyone up!
I think you were smart to get to the heart of what was bothering her.
I think a lot of the fears these kids have are, at their foundation, exactly the same as any other kid might have: for example, what if Mommy isn't there anymore? That was really my DS6's fear of death and it was really your DD's fear of cloning. It's just their minds spin off so wildly and about such complex issues, it is much harder to know how to approach the fear.
And they freak out so thoroughly when they get scared of something, it's really quite scary for us as parents.
I think back to when DS6 had a bout of night terrors. The screams were just soul-rending to hear. But he was fine. It was just horrible on us! Same thing. They are so dramatic about their fears, but I really do think it's harder for us to watch than it is for them to go through it.
I don't have any memories of experiencing this sort of terror. Does anyone else? If someone does, it might prove me wrong...
