Scared of dogs...but not any longer

Joel and Whitey


My seven year old son have been scared of dogs his whole life. His father is extremely scared of dogs...(and most animals except cats) and Joel inherited that fear.  However Joel and I have talked a lot about fears and how to not let them be in charge over our life. Whitey did his part of the job too.

Yesterday we dedicated to get rid of the last traces of his fear. We went to a park and played with Whitey. Later on we watched 8 feet below http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0397313 , with Whitey in our lap.

Later on at night, Whitey slept by Joels feet. Joel feel very good about himself and he discovered that he likes having a dog as company.

This morning when he played x-box he barely let me take Whitey outside to pee..


 
 
I´m very proud of him that he decided to conquer his fear, because it was a deep fear that affected his life negatively every time he saw a dog.
