I know a ten-year-old boy who spent a good amount of time crying hysterically last night because he thought there might be a beetle in his room. This does not seem normal. Any thoughts about how to respond to this sort of thing? Is it indicative of a bigger problem?

Specific phobias are a fairly common anxiety disorder and they tend to present around this age. Depending on what exactly is going on, these phobias are fairly treatable if caught early. I might look into that if I were his parent.

Annaleece - He also has an extremely intense irrationaol fear of dogs. So much that he won't go to anyone's house if he even suspects a dog - of any size - might be there. What sort of treatment has been found to be effective with treating phobias in children? Do you know?
