Everyone knows fear. Everyone in his life was afraid. A child may also be afraid of something. This may be the fear of strangers, death, cars and so on. The most common fear at an early age is the fear of separation from mother.
The kid may feel anxiety, being, for example, in a kindergarten, that he will not be taken away, they will forget about him. Until seven years of age, fears are based on the instinct of self-preservation. In children of 8-9 years old, fears are of a social nature. Such as loneliness, punishment and even fear of death. Be sure to pay attention if the child is disturbed by something, so that fear does not develop into a phobia.
If the baby is afraid of strangers, then you should not persuade him to greet a stranger or, having come to visit, immediately send to play with children in a separate room. The child must get used to, look around. Good prevention of such fear is a visit to children's entertainment centers. Over time, the baby will get used to the crowded environment. It is important to praise the baby for his independence.
Another common childhood fear is darkness. The baby’s imagination turns any shadows into monsters. If your child is scared in a dark room, leave the light on or the night light in the room. If a child has a fear of loud sounds, then their origin must be explained.
Never scare a child. You can’t intimidate all sorts of grannies, monsters, policemen. Children have a rich imagination, they immediately draw scary pictures in their imagination. Only a more intimidated baby can come out of this. This will lead to even greater fears, which you still have to fight.
Explain your fears to the child, do not be ashamed of fears, do not make fun of the child, even if for adults they seem ridiculous. Always show your love for your baby.
