what can I do to make my son not afraind of the vacum ?

my 2 year old son is scarde to death of the vacum its not just the noise if its out in the hall just sitting there or if its in the front room he screams bloody murder and runs and hides under the kitchen table or behind the couch I tryrd to have him ride it like I did when I was a lil I tried to have him help me vacum and also had bought him a kiddy one but he dident even like that one

Answer #1

well my baby brother was like that until for some reason the othere day I let him hold the hover and he done the hovering for abit and since then he’s ok with it, so maybe if you try to get him to do the hovering it’ll show him theres nothing to be scared of, hope that helped

Answer #2

I was always terrified of car washes, but now I’m 16 and they don’t scare me at all. When I was little my mum had to push the emergency stop button in the car wash because I was so scared. Hopefully he will grow out of it. When he’s older he will know its just a vacuum cleaner.

Answer #3

Maybe he saw a movie or something where the evil monster looked like your vacuum cleaner. try buying a new one that looks completely different. You can get cool as light up ones- He might think its a toy.

Answer #4

I have try every thing I tryede to let him ride it like I did when I was a kid and I tried to get him a toy vacum he never played with it I asked him to help me and help push it around but he just screams and hes almost 3 is this normal

Answer #5

lolz. that is something hell have to grow out of. my nephew used to be like that. or just get him in eye sight and put your hand on the vaccum and say ‘’ look honey its safe its not going to hurt you’’ and try to get him to touch it.

Answer #6

maybe hes scared that the vacume could suck him in? you should try and ask himwhat about the vacume he esnt like or is scared of that might help find out the reason why he hates it other than that tell him that the vacume is not going to hurt him,and soemthing like its just something mommy needs to use to clean the house, and the loud noise is just the vacume cleaning up all the mess, making the house all clean for you to play on maybe if you word it like that and make it sound a bit friendly he might not hide from it you could also try giving him his favourite toy or soemthing to keep him occupied so maybe he wont be as scared

Answer #7
