So my son has a fear of fireworks. Due to him hearing fireworks outside, he doesn’t want to go out. He will go in the car to go places, just not out our doors. He will go outside at my in-laws but for certain things and not at night since that’s when the booms come out. He says no outside there’s boom boom. How would you approach this?

With young children, improvements usually happen quickly. But we have to be fully committed to the changes we are making. If you don’t see changes after welcoming your child’s feelings as I suggest, I would go with your gut. It can’t hurt to get an assessment and may be the best thing. Take care!
