She cries hysterically. If I hold her while I vacuum she is fine. Weird since these noises didn't bother her until recently. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1572765 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 13:20:04 +0000 LuLu Mom 1572765@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The vacuum when I first turn it on, but then I she grabs hers and she's good to go! I think it's just the sound. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1572614 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:37:14 +0000 Jenn23 1572614@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Only a few things and just recently discovered them. They are elevators and public bathrooms. He cries in the elevator and most of the time while in the bathroom. I avoid the loud hand dryers if possible since he freaked out the other day when I used one. Also doesn't like the toilet flushing sound. Other than that, he is fearless! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1572595 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:33:54 +0000 cmomma17 1572595@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Raindrop: that is BRILLIANT! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1572591 Wed, 16 Apr 2014 12:32:51 +0000 sumer08 1572591@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The blender! Screams every time we turn it on.

She refers to them all as "NOISE" and gets very unsettled when she sees a vacuum, drill, or blender. She'll start to say things like "No more noise. No noise. Noise bye bye" </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1571171 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 20:22:46 +0000 autumn865 1571171@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The vacuum here too. I have to hold her in one arm and vaccume with the other. There is also a certain book about the itsy bitsy spider that she tells to "go away." It's cute :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1571094 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:47:31 +0000 bhbee 1571094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>sidewalk grates/vents. some loud noises (but not others, she is somewhat used to it living in the city).<br /> worst one is she hates public bathrooms because of the loud auto-flush and the hand dryers. not going to help when we potty train . . . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1571079 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 19:40:32 +0000 ALV91711 1571079@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Another one who doesn't like the vacuum here.

My parents use to put them around the door when he was little so he wouldn't run out the door during hot summer months.</p> <p>We have the app Endless Alphabets and there is the word "courage" I think where the monster is falling out of a plane and screams before he releases his parachute and LO always backs away and goes to us while the monster is scream and slowly walks back to the ipad when the monster stops screaming. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1570920 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 18:28:27 +0000 sandy 1570920@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>She's not super scared but it takes her a while to warm up to dogs. She used to have no fear but after she turned 2 she's a lot more hesitant to approach a dog even after we show her the dog is friendly. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1570796 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 17:14:43 +0000 sunny 1570796@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The robot vacuum freaks her out.

Yesterday we were pointing out my body parts together, and I showed her my belly button and she cried again! Haha, what a weirdo! :silly: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1570741 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:49:11 +0000 MrsRcCar 1570741@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The dark.

And that scares me! I wish she would show some fear. She is super curious about everything, and now that she's walking/running, life is... an adventure. Not even the "scary" parts of movie scare her. We watched Beauty and the Beast today. I thought the Beast screaming/raging might scare her, but nope. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1570736 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:47:00 +0000 hotchildinthecity 1570736@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cmomma17: i was terrified of balloons as a child and i still avoid them to this day! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/what-is-your-toddler-scared-of#post-1570733 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 16:46:08 +0000 bpcmarj 1570733@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The swings at the playground.
