Everyone knows fear. Everyone in his life was afraid. The child may also be afraid of something. It can be a fear of strangers, death, a car, and so on. The most common fear at an early age is the fear of separation from mom.
The kid may feel anxious, being, for example, in kindergarten, that he will not be taken away, they will forget about him. Until the age of seven, 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 the fear of death. It is imperative to pay attention if the child is worried about something, so that the 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 the children to play in a separate room. The child must get used to, look around. A 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 kid's imagination turns any shadows into monsters. If your child is scared in a dark room, leave a light or night light in the room. If a child has a fear of loud sounds, then their origin must be explained.
Do not in any way frighten the child. You cannot intimidate with all sorts of babaykas, monsters, policemen. Children have a rich imagination, they immediately draw scary pictures in their imaginations. Only a more intimidated kid can come out of this. This will lead to even greater fears that you still have to fight against.
Explain to the child his fears, do not be ashamed of the fears, do not make fun of the child, even if they seem funny to adults. Always show your love for your little one.
