19mo ds is COMPLETELY frightened by my cousin's husband (with whom we are very close). At big family party this weekend, ds would cry hysterically everytime the guy came into the room. Ds would start shaking, digging his head in my shoulders and would not come down until he left the room. I feel awful about this, but have no idea what to do. We tried hugging and kissing the guy in fron of ds, but that did nothing exccept to get him more upset. wwyd? [ Reply | Watch | Flag ]

Don't force the guy on the kid. Let him be and see if he warms up to him over time. DS may be sensing something you are not. [ Reply | More ]

If it's that bad, probably. Honestly, it makes me a little wary of the guy. [ Reply | More ]

No. Your ds will adjust. My neice was terrified of my dh for a few months, but now she loves him. Kids go through phases. Just don't leave them alone together at first, but act as if everyting is normal, and tell ds that everything is fine [ Reply | More ]
