Is there anything I can do to help my son overcome his fear of spiders?

One thing you can do is talk to your son and explain why he should not be afraid of spiders. You could also try showing him pictures of harmless spiders or even getting a terrarium with some live tarantulas in it so that he can get used to them. Finally, if possible, arrange for him to meet a real-life spider at a safe distance and let him observe it up close.
