My niece has a fear of dogs that I no longer feel like putting up with.
Don't you think it is dangerous to ignore her fear of dogs?
Says who? She is so annoying. I think some alcohol will help her embrace her "fear of dogs."
Children can have traumatic experiences but it is not good to not do something about it so that they don't develop a phobia. It can prevent them from living their full lives.
I just want her to stop being a pussy.
You're going to only instill the fear into her deeper if you don't take it seriously. She is a child and you're expected to respect that by most other people in society.
