A few months ago Derin developed a great fear towards all kinds of bugs and insects. He used to scream his head off when he saw a fly or a bee in the garden.
We always reassured him that they are not dangerous and I am very pleased to say he has overcome his fears. My friend MarryAnne has a helpful post on overcoming bug phobias on her blog Mama Smiles.
Encouraging Derin to stay calm when he sees a bug or an insect, asking it to go away,wawing them goodbye, reading books about them and exploring them all helped along the way.
I prepared a sensory bin for my kids which they enjoyed playing with during the summer holidays.
Oh and if you are curious about that giant spider, Derin loves spiders!

ReplyDeleteLeo'da bayiliyor boceklere, orumceklere dort yasindan beri gecmedi bu sevgisi. Olmus bocekleri toplayip bir kartona yapistirdik forenlere fenalik gecirtiyor ama leonun favorisi! bir kere bulundugumuz yere entomolojist geldi elinde kitaplari adami tum gece rahat birakmadi. orumceklere dokunuyor oglum isiracak diyorum nafile. salyangoz besledi, karinca besledi simdi akrep istiyor iyyyyy allahtan burada yok! hic korkmadi ama hep bocekler, sinekler vardi cevresinde belki ondandir. Iyi bir yontem tanimadigi seyden korkuyor ya insan. Benim orumcek korkum bahceyle ugrasirken gecti simdi goz hizamda orumcek agi ben altindan cicekleri capalayabiliyorum;) Aferin cesur Derin'e, sevgiler
