What should I do?
Children may be scared about many things, but when it elevates to the level of physical symptoms and chronic worry, they need help. If your child has phobias, you want to see a medical doctor evaluate the physical symptoms. After you have done that, Pathways can help you, and your child cope with phobias and would be glad to assist you.
