So Last night my eldest (2 years) woke at 1 am having had a dream about spiders. her mom went down and when my daughter pointed at some tiny bits of fluff on the duvet and said "scary spider" she replied " it's not a spider it's just fluff"
Today just before bed she refused to walk on the floor because of the " scary fluff, WTF?
My parents neighbours had a 5 year old who was scared of the wind and refused to go out of their house if there was any wind. They eventually got it out of him that the reason was because he believed his hair would blow off "like Mr Hopwoods next door" (my Dad is bald on top).
her mom went down

Tell her to HTFU
one of my sons went through a phase as a toddler of jumping out the bacth the second the plug was pulled as he was scared he'd go down the plughole like incywincy spider
Its not fluff she needs to worry about its the big, bad boogeyman that lurks in the dark under the bed.....
...and in the wardrobe too!
I'd get some plasters to cover up her belly button, just in case.
You need to dress up in a fluff costume, and just as she's drifting off, run in screaming and hitting her with a pillow. Repeat every night for a year.
Aversion therapy. Glad I could help.
You need to vacuum her room
Fluff monsters only exist if you believe in them...
... and then they have metal teeth!
make up a game squashing the fluff spiders before bed
job sorted
I fail to see the point of threads such as this on here along with crap ,such as can I fit an Aga in my camper and help I have got kidney stones ,piles aids or anything else like do I buy this house and should I shop at Tesco or Asda it's all crap
i used to hate the wind when I was a kid, thought I'd get blown away. and I used to hate looking up if I was high up. actually that last one still totally freaks me out...

Nobody's standing behind you with a baseball bat making you read it, are they?
If you don't like it don't frakkin' read it.

Quick scan back through your replies, your a right mardy sod ain't you 😉
Must be from living in a sheep enclosure :p
Enclosure has not reached this part of Somerset yet !!
When I was little I was absolutely terrified of the dentist. He used to give me gas and I thought it was the gas that took your teeth out. I didn't know how the gas knew which tooth to take, and I was afraid it would take them all, hence I was terrified.
The grown ups never explained that it was the [i]dentist[/i] who took your teeth out!
I wonder if your little girl has heard/overheard something she has not fully understood and has built a frightening scenario out of that?

[i]The name Shepton derives from the Old English scoep and tun, meaning 'the sheep enclosure[/i] 😉

Actually I told my three year old that. Gets her out of the bath pronto. I think she's wise to me really though.
She's somewhat scared of spiders too, though that's cos we're in Aus and it's terminal to play with them...
