From babies to adults, everyone will experience fear and anxiety at some time in their lives. While it’s normal for your child to experience fear, as a parent you can support their healthy development by assisting them with dealing with their fears. A child who overcomes their fears can be better prepared to deal with uncertainty and challenges later in life.
Children of different ages might have fears for varying reasons, and the nature of your child’s fears can change as they grow. Common fears range from strangers, insects, and blood, to heights and darkness.
Other fears might not be correlated to brain development or age, but could be due to a previous experience. For example, your child might have seen a vicious dog before, and has now come to fear dogs as a result.
If your child is fearful of something, you probably know about it. They might scream and run away, cry and struggle, take shallow breaths, or get cold hands and feet. Other signs of anxiety and fear include impulsiveness, distraction, twitching, sleeping longer than usual or problems getting to sleep, sweaty hands, accelerated heart rate, headaches, nausea, and stomach aches. These signs can all help you work out whether your child is anxious or fearful.
There are many different ways you can help your child. The best approach to take may depend on your child and the nature of the fear.
When fears and anxieties persist and become extreme and severe, they might become phobias. Your child’s reaction to the source of their fear can include hysterics and be otherwise extreme, often lasting for more than a few months. Around three to five percent of children develop phobias. If your child has developed a phobia, it’s best to speak to a psychologist, paediatrician, and/or mental health professional about it.
Fear is a natural part of life for children, and as a parent, you can support your child in overcoming their fears. Taking an empathetic and supportive approach will often be enough to assist your child in successfully dealing with their fears.
