Wants to stay away from people, places, or things that are reminders of what happened
Why It Happens:
After something scary happens, reminders of what happened can make us feel very anxious, and we might start to avoid those things.
Is This a Problem?:
Is avoiding reminders stopping your child from doing (safe) things s/he would otherwise be able to do, or from enjoying activities even if she does manage to do them?
