Stay strng; carry on: Certainly children can have intense fears of unexpected things. As a parent, try to stay calm yourself no matter how she is behav. Don't belittle or reprimand for a fear. Comfort briefly with a hug and verbal reassurances; don't prolong the comforting attention. "you're okay" and perhaps hand her her special comfort toy and move along. Don't overreact or point out areas of her fear.
