Hi

My 16 month old daughter has, over the last week, suddenly developed an extreme fear of bits of fluff, or stray hairs on the floor (I have long dark hair). She has never been an overly-sensitive one, nothing much phases her. So this has got me totally baffled. It started where she would see something on the floor, point to it shouting then come and take my finger and walk me to wherever it was and put my finger on it. Now this has escalated to full on screaming, hysterics and red-faced tears. The last two nights' bath has been a wash out. Each time I put her in she'd spot a tiny black fleck below the bubbles and go ballistic actually hooking her foot over hte bath top and trying to climb out herself!

Anyone else experienced this? I'm hoping it'll go as quickly as it came. But not sure how best to handle it in the mean-time? At the moment I just calmly remove the offending particle and tell her there's nothing to worry about and it's all gone. Help!

Our son started noticing really tiny things like this at about the same age. He wasn't distressed as such but really pointing them out all the time - things like hair and fluff. According to our nanny who used to be a nursery teacher, this is a normal development milestone. I shall ask her about it again on Monday!

    • Big recommendation for Stephen Viccary who has created a magnificent bathroom for us. Quality of work is absolutely top notch. We couldn't be happier - see pics.  Stephen is considerate and tidy meaning working from home during the work was fine (some noise - obviously, it is a demo and installation after all. He does not work on multiple jobs, does a full days work and does ALL the work himself - Tiling, plumbing, lighting (including lighting on a motion sensor under the vanity and in the shower niche - for night time visits 😉), he even changed the door architraves, sorted the badly cracked ceiling and did all the paint work. A full end to end service. Stephen's number - 07941 266 145
    • Highly recommend Dulwich Eco Gardening.  When he came to quote Saied said he’d give our garden back so we could decide what we do next.  Under two weeks of hard work from Saied and Mo and we have the garden back and can see paving I’d forgotten about. Not only did Saied remove our very overgrown greenery. Nature had taken over. He also took back to our fence line overgrown ivy, apple and pear trees and and dealt with a neighbours bamboo that had invaded our garden.  We are now going to get quotes for what we do next so those quoting will be able to see the space.  Saied has suggested someone to quote and will be coming back when he does in case he has any questions or they can work together.  I thought Saied would be a good choice and he was. Quotes from others didn’t leave me with confidence for the end result. That was never a concern with Saied.
