She's read all of the Harry Potter books that way. Even movies and TV shows are the same. She couldn't take Disney's Frozen in the theater - she had to leave part way through. Once we got the DVD version and was able to see the ending first, then she could watch the entire thing all the way through (well, mostly. There were still parts where she covered her eyes and ears, only uncovering when her sister told her the "scary" part was over).

I'm glad she's found a way to cope! And hopefully it will get easier for her as she experiences more and gets older!
