[QUOTE="mightymouse, post: 27739, member: 3437"] My difficult child has had a similar problem, but it's kind of funny when you take out the fact that he's truly scared. A few days ago he woke up having a bad dream saying he was afraid of "that bucket head thing." After some questioning, I figured out what he was afraid of. One of his favorite things to watch is America's Funniest Home Videos. He laughs and laughs at the whole thing (except if it is a video that looks like someone gets hurt - he clearly states that is NOT funny and is dangerous). About a week ago they had a segment showing short clips of people having their heads stuck in one thing or another, several of which looked like some sort of bucket. It was hilarious and whatever inspired these people to stick their heads into these things was beyond me. He was sitting on my lap watching it and was completely serious the whole time and it was obvious he did not like it at all. When I asked him why, he said he didn't like the music. I wasn't paying any attention to the music until he said that, but it was a rather ominous organ music. Now for the past several nights he doesn't want to be left alone in the bedroom because he says he is afraid he will dream of that "bucket head thing". That just reminded me of a bear that played music that he had as a baby. He would accidently switch it from the heartbeat sound to the music and would cry hysterically whenever he heard it. Hmmm...something that might be helpful to know in his evaluations. Well, I'm off to jot that down in my notes for the doctor. Oh, but first. Let your difficult child know that kidney stones are really not that big of a deal. I've had one and although painful, it's really not something to worry about, definately not life threatening, at least I've never heard of it to be. The pain is a little like childbirth, just without the reward at the end. Although, sometimes I'd like to trade my difficult child in for that stone. [/QUOTE]
