Why is my toddler afraid of moon bouncers?

Question

I have a 2 1/2 year old boy, who has been afraid of moon bouncers forever. His uncle gave him a small 2 person bouncer and he runs from it.All his friends and cousins bounce and tell him to join them, but he does not want any part of it, What do I do?

Thanks

Dave

Answer 1

It can be a scary thing!

When it is just you two take him to the bouncer and have him touch it or you touch it.Be very cheerful so he is not afraid.Maybe he just has to get used to it.

Answer 2

The fans that fill the moon bounce are pretty loud and even the small ones are pretty big! I really wouldn't push it if he's afraid. One day he may surprise you and get in it on his own.  

Answer 3

I think its because they are so big and loud. Most babies look up at them like they're gonna get eaten. My daughter is fearless and was a little hesitant on her 1st birthday but once she was in and the other kids were bouncing her around she loved it. Now you cant keep her away from them.

Every kid is different though.
