Toddler fears

These are funny, check out the link it is toddler fears-they fear the oddest things sometimes!

For my kids:
Leanna is deathly afraid of automatic toilets. One time she was taking too long and it flushed on her and since then she will still ask if the toilets flush "matically" and will sometimes refuse to use them even if I show her they are regular. Everyone says, just cover the part so it doesn't flush while she's on. But she's too afraid of public toilets now for me to even do that-she won't use them unless she's positive they're not automatic.
She's mostly over hear fear of vacuumes.
She still will not go alone to any part of the house where no one else is. As in she won't go to the bathroom alone she won't go upstairs alone, etc.

When Justin was 9 months old for his first Easter Nanny Sue and Pop-Pop gave him a blue Easter bunny that sang and danced and he was terrified of it. Didn't want to be anywhere near it!

Ha ha ha. I just wrote a post on this and was searching to see if anyone else had the same issue with toddlers and automatic potties.

You can try using a post it note, preferably with cute characters on it. It became our magic trick but it would only work if the kid in question was in a good mood....

Here's my take on it!

Toddlers are Terrified of Automatic Toilets
