Before, whenever she saw a bug she'd just ask someone to kill it; her dad's response to bugs in our screened porch is to kill them rather than coax them outside. Now she sees a bug of any kind she freaks out and clings to the legs of whoever is closest. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/scared-of-bugs#post-821356 Fri, 31 May 2013 09:09:02 +0000 Maysprout 821356@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>LO has never acted scared of bugs before and seemed curious. I guess now that it's warm though there are a lot more bugs out and she's started acting scared of them. It started a couple weeks ago when one of those really big bumble bees hit her on the ear and bounced off, it didn't sting her but it scared her. Now she points out every bug when we're outside and runs away or asks me to get it away. I try to explain and show her that they're OK but so far no luck. </p> <p>any other lo go through this stage? how'd they get over it? </p>
