My daughter is suddenly afraid of escalators. Any advice on how to help her get over the fear?

How old is your daughter? Did something happen / did she see an accident, have a scare on the escalator? Why not take her on a travelator and then if she is comfortable with it, hold her hand tightly and take her up and down a short escalator till she gets comfortable with it.

why is she suddenly afraid of escalators? did she fall? or saw someone who fell? you may want to talk to her to address her fears?

You say its sudden. Did something happen to make her suddenly not like escalators? Did she fall? How old is your Daughter?

hi, why not try walking with her on a travellator first? it's flat and sort of works the same way
