it all started a few days before xmas- went out in the car with mum, nan and the two dd's. dd1 (3.9) unexpectedly threw up quite violently in the car and frightened the living daylights out of dd2 (2.9). dd2 went absolutely ape and refused to go near dd1 for the rest of the day. now, whenever anyone starts to cough violently, dd2 goes ballistic, comes running to me, and cries, hysterically for up to an hour. she becomes totally inconsolable despite the fact that i explain that it was just a cough and that no-one is going to be sick. her understanding of things is generally very good when they are explained to her properly, but this is something else entirely. now i have an almost three year old emetophobe and no idea what to do. please help me???
