Fears and emotions
Guys, I'm at an all time loss and I'm super anxious.
My little girl for context is 20 months old and all of a sudden has started developing fears and becoming super sensitive. These things are everyday things that haven't changed for instance the bath plug, now she's started getting super emotional and hysterical in the car, doesn't matter who's car it is. We haven't changed anything, nothing has happened for these to start occurring but I'm super distraught and anxious over why she is getting like this, I feel like the world's worst mum that I can't take this away or help. I don't know what to do? I try reassuring her, distraction sometimes helps others it doesn't
Anyone else experiencing this? Does anyone have any advice for me? I am literally at my lowest x

My girl is scared of the Hoover and of being in a lift but she’s been this way for quite a while. With the Hoover as harsh as it sounds I just try to ignore it because I don’t want to feed into her fear so we just carry on with the hoovering, let her react how she needs to, tell her it’s ok and then after just say see all done now. The lift is a bit harder but she’ll be ok as soon as we’re out. Like you I’ve no idea why she’s got these fears! I don’t think there’s anything we can do necessarily but my stance is that I don’t want to encourage them and I can’t stop hoovering or having to go in lifts. With the hoovering I’ll sometimes leave it out so she can get used to seeing it so hopefully realises there’s nothing to be worried about. As silly as it may sound could you get her a bath plug that’s not in the bath so she can play with and explore it a bit outside of the bath, and maybe with the car go in it sometimes without actually going anywhere?
