Agh I need help.
I was letting A play on the Ipad while I gave the little one a bath today, and she suddenly came running into the bathroom screaming and crying like she was horrified. I have never seen her like this. She closed the doors to the bathroom and literally climbed up me and held on for dear life. She couldn't even tell me what scared her because she was too horrified by it. When I went and investigated, she had found a pretty scary looking face in a hair cutting game. It is made for kids, but this face was really scary.
So, this was probably 3 hours ago, and she is still crying every few minutes, she won't talk about what happened, she is extra clingly, and won't even consider coming upstairs with me. She is so tense.
I fell awful. She has never been scared of anything like this before. I feel like I'm going to need to put her in therapy over it. I don't even want to think about what is going to happen when I try to put her to sleep tonight.
Any suggestions? She's only 2. She does understand the difference between real and pretend. But for some reason my words aren't helping. Especially because she refuses to talk about it without becoming hysterical.

I was pretty sure she was going to be dreaming about that face as an adult.
