How can I help my sister overcome a scary movie?
Question by 2daysbeforethedayaftertommorow: How can I help my sister overcome a scary movie?
My sister is 10 years old. She used to be able to stay home all by herself. One day i went on the hbo channel and started watching I am legend and my sister came in, and she saw the people with the disease (zombies). And she’s been scared ever since. she can’t stay home alone at all anymore. whenever she stays home along for more than 5 minutes she calls our mom or housecleaner or dad and starts crying and telling them how the zombies are coming. Once I went to the basement to do laundry and she thought i left the house, she started crying and yelling my name. I tried to explain to her that zombies aren’t real. And i’ve had a good 5 thorough conversations with her about how they don’t exist but im not making any steps forward. My parents are EXTREMELY pissed off for my sister walking and seeing the movie… they say i ruined my sister’s mindset and what not, they say i ruined her childhood and that she might stay this way forever. My sister literally saw 5 minutes of the movie, and its not even scary!!! when I was her age i saw the grudge which is 5 times scarier and i overcame the fear. Please i’m desperate, i don’t know what to do. During the day she even asks what time it is to find out whether or not its close to night. If you have any comments, tips or any advice whatsoever I would appreciate it greatly. Tell me how you overcame a scary movie or how you would handle this situation. Thank-you.
