Question

My 4 yr old daughter has a phobia of bubbles can anyone help me with a name for the phobia?

Answer 1

bubblephobia

Answer 2

My son has a problem with bubbles too, only with him he is allergic to them.  He got some in his eyes once and he had a terrible reaction and we ended up in hospital.  

It's no big deal though, we just tell people and they just don't use them around him.  He is 4 too and doesn't miss them one bit.  

Answer 3

Answer 4

go to wikipedia and tap in phobias. there is a huge list of all  sorts of phobias!

Answer 5

"Phobia" is the Greek word for "fear", so it would be appropriate to use "pompholyx", the Greek word for "bubble".

Although I have heard of no "official" name for this fear, I would feel safe in calling it "pompholyxophobia".

Answer 6

There is no clinical name for it, sometimes kids are afraid of things and we can't explain why

Answer 7

don't start saying your daughter has a phobia! what are you trying to do? she just finds them a bit scary , she is 4! please don't start telling her she has  a phobia!
