My brother has a phobia of feet?

He's 8 years old and every time he see's someones feet (not his own) He cries and runs away. This has been happening for about 3 years and me and my mum think that it's a phobia, do you think that we're right? Do you know of any ways of helping him get over this fear ?

Thanks for any help

    Hi Louise! So your brother is scared of feet? It could be a phobia or he might have had a bad experience that involves his feet or someone else's. Have you, your mum or your brother been to see someone to talk about it? I can't make judgments but he might grow out of it, or it might be something (not to offend), something psychological that makes him scared of feet. I do recommend, as mentioned before, that talking to someone might help him. Have you or your mum tried to get to the bottom of it? Good luck!
