3 yr old
I'm pregnant but this question is about my 3 yr old......most kids are afraid of the boogie man or the dark but this is gonna sound like crazy but my daughter is afraid of aliens.......she literally barracadded the bedroom door n said its to keep the aliens out......when she's naked between the bedroom n bathtub or when I'm changing her she hides her butt and literally screams if I hold her hands to keep her from hiding her butt....she says she doesn't want them seeing her butt....how do I get rid of this ovbiously dellusional idea of aliens she has?????

and do not be so quick to discredit your childs fear, there is a reason that she is scared of this "alien"
On a completely different note..it is interesting that she is afraid of things that are common complaints of abductees. Children are imaginative but in my experiences with case studies in school negates a child's ability to harbor delusions because of how differently they view themselves, the world and others.
please give your baby the benefit of the doubt. if its nothing then so be it, but have it checked for validity. if someone is hurting your child, you cannot ignore that. mama_kat hit it right on the spot with my immediate thoughts. we all want to believe no one we know would ever harm our children but the sad thing is, there are sick people everywhere. i say sick bc it is an illness. if there is more to it, you will feel so much better that you saved your daughter from any more hurt.
im begging you as a woman who was molested by a friend of a friends of my mothers, do not ignore this behavior. and do not try to convince her this is a figment of her imagination, bc she will feel the need to discredit every inappropriate thing that ever happens to her, unfortunately making her a very confused child,young lady, and woman oneday.
