What Causes Unnecessary Fear In Child?
my daughter is 3 1/2 years old and she doesnt let anyone change her diaper but me she will cry and scream...she wont sleep in her bed anymore said she is afraid of the dark and she has night light on and slept there before..she bites her nails and sucks her finger( i think its her nerves that are bothering her) and she humps pillows all the time. I am very concerned should i be worried?

Hi.... I feel that your kid has experienced some phenomena or incident which has been violent in nature or terrorozing in nature. Please talk to her in loving terms and try to extract what is bothering her. It is not a nervous problem at this age. Somebody might have threatened her or she might have seen something directly or in television which is bothering the child mind. If nothing is working I suggest you get in touch with a child psychologist.
