Answer 1

z.o.l.o.f.t.

Answer 2

that depends

if its at night,then thats normal,because its a little creepy being alone in a room at night

but if its all day then maybe shes afraid something might be in the house,or someone might try to break in.

I would help her by leaving her in a room alone but not for a long time.

Make sure its in the morning,so it wont be dark

have something on the tv for her to watch,or a game to keep her entertained for a while

say youre going to get something really quick

leave for about 10 seconds and come back,if she doesnt run looking around for someone,then do it again,but not like you mean to do it purposely

take more and more time to leave the room until she completely forgets that you even left for that long

Answer 3

by growing up ! she is just a slow learner . she  does not have to have down syndrome or silmer cases to be a freak just to be left alone. normal ppl that are not freaks get scared 2 . the freaks that get scared are called freaks for other reasons or by extreamley rude ppl .

Answer 4

lock her in a closet, she'll eventually stop screaming, and she might get over her fear, though she could be scared for life and hate you for a very long time. but hey it should be worth a chuckle.

Answer 5

I had a fear like that when i was around that age (but i had a twin sister so i could have someone to follow at home and we slept in the same room.) I got my fear when my Pa died (or around that time.. alot of c**p happened in those few months) Im not sure but i think that i feared if i wasnt with someone then they (or i) might die. But im not sure.... i grew out of it and i kinda forgot about it til this question, BUT it did kinda move to i can't be alone in the dark that FREAKS me out (mainly because i can't see what there). Maybe just ask her what she is scared of???

Answer 6

Get her a lamp and a teddy bear, that she can always depend on! ♥

Answer 7

I was that way, and my brother's the same way (which is worse, since he's a boy). He's turning 10 in September. I did get over it, and that's because I was forced to face my fears if I wanted to grow up. I'm not saying to shove her in a room and lock the door to keep her from getting out, but maybe leaving the room for a couple of seconds and then coming back without her noticing, and then she'll realize that there's nothing wrong with staying alone. You just slowly need to get her used to being alone.

Answer 8

well first, try and figure out what it is that makes her afraid of being alone in a room, maybe she watched a movie that freaked her out, my kids do that after watching a scary movie. once you figure out the true cause of why she is afraid, then take it from there.

*i didn't really want to put this out there at first, but one big reason many kids are afraid of being alone in rooms could be because she might be getting molested by someone. it's a horrible thought, but in reality, it could be a reason. thousands of children get molested and by ppl they trust, so they never come forward. talk to her and ask her things like if someone has been touching her where they shouldn't be, or if someone is hurting her. I pray to God it isn't a reason, but it's better to find out now then to let it go on*

Answer 9

Without therapy, I don't know. There may be a reason behind this.

Answer 10
