My 15-month old daughter is scared of our smoke alarm. The da*n thing goes off whenever we use the stove/oven more than about an hour. It went of again a couple of days ago. Now she won't leave the room we bring her into because she has to pass under the smoke alarm to go to another room. She keeps pointing to it and tries to say something. When I pick her up and take her close to it to show her that the alarm is harmless, she clings to me like glue and looks petrified. Is there a solution? H.
