My 6 yr old son is ADHD. Tonight he freaked out! Big time! There was a black fly in our house and he went nuts! He was visibly traumatized, shaking from head to toe, genuine fear in his eyes, and screaming at the top of his lungs. He thinks if it flies, it stings. My oldest was like that once upon a time as well, but not to this degree. He won't go outside if he seeing something flying, and if he does - he's dressed up like it's winter, all to prevent a sting. Even Ants - he worries. Not near as bad though as it is with the flying insects. How do I help him over come this? What can I do to help him understand things?
