Halloween Jitters

Kimberly has a case of the Halloween Jitters.
Last year she was so affraid of EVERYTHING!
She would have a panic attack when we walked into
any store that had halloween decorations!
We couldn't walk down the street because they
had the big blow up witch in the front yard,
we couldn't even get her out of the car unless
the garage door was closed, so the scary things couldn't get her.
So we have had Lot's of talks over the past year
and she has said that she is 4 1/2 and she
isn't afraid of Halloween this year.
But as we get closer and more Halloween stuff is out
she is getting more and more worried about it!
Grandpa Bob and Grandma Lois
sent us a package last week with some candy,
a witch and a mummy. When you push
their head down they pop back up laugh
and say "Happy Halloween!"
Kimberly has asked me to send them back.
They are NOT allowed in the same room with her.
She totally freaks out if she sees or hears them!!
I don't know how to help her!
Any suggestions???

Poor Kid!

No advice here as my now 9 year old loves to look at the stuff and thinks Halloween is cool, but when confronted with a jr haunted house today, totally balked at even going near the door until one of us went through. I guess it's time, and maybe, if I admit it, he might have a touch of my overactive imagination...and the fact that I hate spook houses too
