Need specific ERP step suggestions

[Guest guest]

Hi everyone and anyone,

I was on this list years ago with my first son who is coping better now, but

my second son (turning ten) is faring less well. He has many obsessive

fears and I am trying to do some homegrown ERP with him, but am out of ideas

at a critical point. So I am once again turning to you in hopes of help.

One of his big fears is the character Bumble, the Abominable Snowman from

the Cartoon Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer. He had made it into a terribly

frightening thing (I saw from a picture he drew) and I am trying to get him

past it.

Here is my first time out home grown ERP plan that has come to a screechng

halt at the worst moment:

We just talked about it for several days. He went from tentative to

enthusiastic and talked about ways he came up with to kill it.

Then we drew pictures of it and put funny stickers on it to make it less

intimidating.

Then we looked at Beanie Baby pictures of it I found on the WWW. He was a

little scared by that but got over it in a few days.

Now he's tired of talking and drawing and tonight he looked at the FIRST

really realistic picture of it (a more realistic action figure) and he got

really freaked out and I don't have a next step.

Does any one have IDEAS FOR NEXT ERP STEPS?

Thanks for all your help and support.
