Question

Answer 1

Yes its completely normal!

what you should do is explain to her what is real fighting like she sees on movies and what isnt real fighting like she sees on the news.

then explain to her that if she sees a fight she should go and tell an adult or someone that can help!

my little niece is just like this but we explained to her and allowed her to ask as many questions as needed and she not as scared.

dont worry about it shes only six im sure she'll grow outta it

i hope this helps!

Answer 4

She is only six, if she loved violence you would have a worse problem. She is just frightened, it can be a healthy fear. Explain that bad things happen sometimes but in TV shows it is just pretend. Avoid letting her see the news, that can be scary to a grown person.

She can still be brave, its just hard and frightening to realize some of the bad things that happen in this world. Let her talk to you about why she is afraid, and don't worry, it is normal. She is afraid because many things on TV really are frightening.

Answer 5

Talk about what you see.   monitor tv always!!!!  The news is scary.  A 6 yr. old needs to have things explained to her.  Sometyimes you have to axplain acting to her.

Answer 6

Wow, it's tough to deal with her on the news part. I tell my sons that it isn't scary because it isn't real, but I don't watch news when they are around. I do, however, love scary movies! Both boys will try and watch for a while, depending on how bad it is, and I will explain stuff when it gets scary (Oh, look out! Now the bad guy is coming!). They are 4 and 5 years old, and will hide their eyes very rarely (if it's too gross, I make them cover!). My younger one will even tell himself that it isn't scary because it's just a story!

Her being afraid is normal, and totally real for her. Don't tell her she can't be afraid, but you might mention that it is scary and that some people like to be scared.

Answer 7

yes that is very normal. you know you can get a tv box with parental control and all that stuff will be blocked out??i think it is optimum. there phone # is [phone]

Answer 8

yes, it's normal.

Answer 9

Yes, she is only six.  Let her have the security of growning up without the violence and she will progress into her own sense of security and bravery.
