I have a two year old son and as of now have avoided sending him to daycare for reasons independant of my problem. Lucky for me this also enables me to control my fears associated with him socializing with sick children.My wife understands my aversion and takes care of him when he is ill. I dread his eventual contact in a school or daycare setting because of my fear he will bring home bugs. I am worried that Iwill stunt his social growth because of this fear. I wish I was not afraid but don't know how to begin to seek treatment for my fears, but something has to be done before he begins pre school otherwise I will drive myself crazy.


As a side note just seeing this website makes me feel better, I never knew this problem was so prevolent.
