I think the thing you need to remember is just don't give your daughter the message that we ought to fear v* like we do, that it's a really bad or dangerous thing. Comfort her as best you can when it happens, and I'm not really sure that you even need to make it seem positive, just not something dreadful. Most kids probably are at least a little distressed when they get sick no matter if we see it as positive, negative or indifferent. Think about how few 2nd generation emets we have on here compared to the population of this board. Yes it does happen but it's not that common. I agree that it's anxiety that's the thing which can be inherited not the specific fears or phobias as such. We DO see a lot of that unfortunately. I think your daughter will be fine as long as you don't consciously or unconsciously give her the idea that v* is a terrible thing to be avoided at all costs. My ,02...good luck.
