[QUOTE="Chailya, post: 356312"] My son has a couple of stand out irrational fears of lightening storms/tornado's and the toilet overflowing. These have been persistent with him for about 5yrs now. He's never been in nor seen a tornado except on t.v. nor has he ever fell into the toilet or even been teased by anyone that they would flush him or stuff him. He gets freaky and panicky when thunder/lightening storms come...yet has a almost dire fascination to watch the weather channel, especially tornado's, and last year almost every book he checked out from the library was about tornado's and hurricanes..it always results in him getting worked up and anxious talking and going on about them. He's been banned from the weather channel since age 4..though he sneaks to watch still, and banned from checking out any books about destruction. He won't sit fully down on the toilet, and didn't give up the potty chair until he was 7. He would literally just not have a bowel movement to the point he made himself start getting sick and I had to force him to take children's laxatives and push fluids to clean him out. He hides soiled toilet paper in bathroom drawers, and in the clothes hamper in there because he is afraid of making the toilet over flow.."yet" he has purposely flushed large sums of toilet paper, and even cut up pieces of clothes to make it do just that..but only when he's not actually using it. Anyone else have these oddities with their difficult child's? Chailya [/QUOTE]
