My daughter is 5 and has an intense fear of bridges. She is okay with flying. She is okay with being on a boat. She is even okay with small bridges. Major bridges set her off the deep end.We will be taking a trip shortly that requires us to cross over a bridge. My daughter knows that we will have to cross the bridge to get there and she is already freaking out about it. Getting her to sleep in the car is impossible since she works herself up about it so much that she can't sleep. Last time my husband just powered through the way there and the way back. Our daughter was so upset with him that she screamed the entire time after crossing the bridge and told her dad that she doesn't trust him anymore. She was truly scared to be around my husband since she didn't believe that he would look out for her. This lasted a while and we don't really want to go back to that.Is this cause for therapy? I don't know what else to do. When we asked her why she is afraid she claims that she doesn't know.Edit: She loves going to the destination but hates the trip there. We also have two boys who are looking forward to this trip. My daughter has said numerous times that she wants to go and I don't want to leave her home while the rest of us go. I know that would upset her. via /r/Parenting https://ift.tt/2Olvcs6
