What is the reason for a 7-year-old child crying and struggling to get on the bus?

Patient's question:

My baby is 2 years old. In winter, she always rode in the car to go to and from work. After the weather got warmer, she stopped riding. Recently, she has started riding in the car again, but she starts crying as soon as she gets in. This happens every time. What could be the reason?
Besides, the baby doesn't like riding the elevator either. She cries every time the door closes. What's going on?
Previous treatment history and effectiveness: None.
Any help needed: I want to know what's wrong with the baby? Is it an illness? What should I do?

Doctor's answer:

It might be uncomfortable, a bit sad, but it's not an illness, so you don't need to worry too much.
You can sit with her for a few days in the car, tell her not to be sad, and let her meet some children so they can play together. Help her focus for a little while and encourage her more. Once she can sit in the car by herself, you can give her many extra rewards. For children, extra rewards are much more valuable than criticism. You don't need to worry too much.
When riding the elevator, she might not like the feeling. You can let her wait until she's a bit older, or you can hold her and talk to her so she doesn't feel like she's in an elevator.
I'm happy to help you, and I hope it can be of assistance. Wishing you a pleasant life.
