2 year old all of a sudden having intense fearful breakdowns from irrational objects, even familiar ones. Advice needed.


My boy just turned 2, and had always been a real happy and pretty chill kid, not real temperamental or overly emotional or fearful. But all of a sudden, the past week he’s been really oddly fearful (pretty extremely too) of the most random things. And I mean screaming and crying tears, shaking etc.. One of the things that got him like this was a little 4 wheeled baby walker (the kind you sit in). We were at another parent’s house and walked into their playroom, and the walker was just sitting there in the corner, and he absolutely freaked out over it (like I said, tears, screaming, shaking). This also happened with a vacuum that wasn’t on and a toy projector, all things that he’s been around plenty of times before with no issue. It’s just a little odd to me, and I was wondering if anyone on this sub has experienced similar weird fears like this all of a sudden and what the result of it was. Hopefully it’s just normal child-like behavior, and I know around this age it’s normal to start fearing things like the dark or shadows or dogs or something but this sudden change in behavior seems a little weird.
