My son has always been the kind of kid that has been a little bit of a scaredy cat.
- It’s interesting how you can have two different children and they can be so different.
My oldest is completely different from my youngest. My youngest is so afraid of everything. My oldest is one of the most confident kids I’ve ever seen. When he puts his mind to it, I know that he’ll get something done. That’s just how he is; he’s a very determined type of individual. My youngest on the other hand is really afraid of two things in particular, the first thing that my son is afraid of is the closet. He’s always afraid of monsters in the closet for the longest time. The second thing that my son is afraid of used to find us. We have a old gas furnaces in our basement I do have to agree with him that it can be creepy but it’s not like it’s actually going to do anything, but he’s straight up refuses to go on the basement and so he always needs somebody to go there for him if he needs something out of there. It doesn’t worry me too much because I figured that he’ll just grow out of this phase, in the meantime I’m trying to do my best to make him feel as comfortable as possible. I don’t want him to. I feel afraid in his own home and so I’ve been trying to get him used to the closet and the furnace, but he’s a little kid and he has the imagination of a little kid. I showed him through the thermostat how the heating and air conditioning system works and I showed him that there was nothing to be afraid of. If anything, heating and cooling is something that we all can enjoy.
