my 6yo dd suddenly is saying "i'm afraid" rather often, as in:

"i washed my hands, but i'm afraid i might have swallowed glue"

"i'm afraid their might be soap on my toothbrush"

"i'm afraid when i cut that paper a tiny bit landed in my mouth and i might swallow it"

"i'm afraid i accidentally touched someone's bum when i was passing by them"

have you experienced this? is it a "typical" (if there is such a thing) 6yo phase? we do not have anything unusual happening—with the big exception of kindergarten ending soon and leaving some friends.
