2 year old terrified of me !?
My little sister, who is 2 years old is absolutely terrified of me. Today when she got home from the baby sitter’s she was alright. I was working on a 3d house model for my construction class, and i was cutting foam board(for the walls) with my utility-knife. She watched me for like a minute. Then my mother gave her strawberries, and she saw all the red strawberry-juice stains on her hands and sleeves. She got really scared, covered her hands under her sleeves and ran away from the table. Then she was screaming and crying in horror-like terror. She obviously thought i cut her, im sure thats what her mind processed. She’s even scared of my 3d project. (tears runnin down my face right now :*( .)–The way she tightly clenched onto my moms arms, shaking and trying to get away from me, and trying to hide behind my moms back.
She seemed fine later with me. She was even playing with me and being her happy little self.
But she had another ‘ episode’ again later .
This is really emotionally hard on me, because of the way she rejects me. I’m her favorite brother, she trusts me and even feels safe and protected by me.
To just suddenly go from that to this is making me feel like she wont ever see me like that, and hate me you know…I can’t live without her.
What can we do, PLEASE, to find a solution. I want her to love me again. … is this normal stage thing in child development…
