Sprout's Star at nightime show
Mon, 11-06-2006 - 4:53pm
The other day I was upstairs doing laundry and my husband was taking a nap in his office and my daughter was downstairs playing. I hadn't realized I left the Sprout station on the tv and I heard this blood curdling scream over and over that nearly gave me a heart attack. I have never heard my daughter scream. I nearly came tumbling down the stairs and my husband came running in from a dead sleep. There was this little star that is mushy on the tv. She fell to the floor rolled up in a ball crying, "Mushy Star go away". Anyone else's child not like this thing they have on their nightime show? I have never seen anything like this. I didn't know whether to laugh or what. It was so bizzarre. I guess it truly scared her. My husband immediately erased it from our tivo so that station won't show up again. She is 4 1/2 years old and it seems like she has so many fears. No clowns, no easter Bunny, No Santa, no costumes that are furry or cover the face, dogs, certain music, bugs, birds, and the list goes on. I try to be sympethetic, but on the other hand should I be making her face any of these fears. She will grab me and crawl up me in fear and scream. I don't know what to do. Just go with the flow?
