How To Overcome A Fear Of Thunder (Brontophobia)

What is brontophobia and how do I overcome it?

Brontophobia is the fear of lightning and thunderstorms. This is common with kids. If you've got a kid who's afraid of thunderstorms and lightning, you want to make it a fun experience. Go out there on the porch with them, look at the thunderstorms, talk about how pretty it is. Help them get used to being around lightning and thunder and eventually they'll start to feel more comfortable and maybe even enjoy thunderstorms.
