child feel better about elevators?i'm taking my daughter to her aunties house later and she's afraid of elevators , she just starts crying i hate to say it but it's ridiculous how she acts and her aunt lives on the 22nd floor so walking up the stairs isn't an option i never really understood why she's so afraid of them all she says is that she doesn't like them and plus her father lives in an apartment to and he lives on the 24th floor and there's no way we'll be walking up 24 flights of stairs every time she goes therei'm not mean, it's just stressful that we have to go through this everytime we go to someones house , a lot of her family members on her dads side lives in an apartment any advice?she's 5
Maybe once you get in the elevator, hand her a toy or a gameboy or something to distract herTell her not to think about the elevatorOr you could even read/tell her a story while you're in there, trying to distract herAlso reassure her that there's nothing to worry about, and that the elevator is perfectly safe.
