Many children, as well as adults, feel various fears. Children's phobias differ from adults on many values, the causes, disposal methods.
Fear of the closed rooms
If the child has such fear, then let it will have the largest room in the house. If there is no such opportunity, means it is not necessary to close a door when the child is there and in particular for the night.
Fear of darkness
Let the kid sleep with a night lamp. The muffled light will help the child to feel with bigger safety. If it does not help, then one of parents has to sit so far that will not fall asleep with the child. Do not leave children in private with fear.
What should be undertaken
The conversation with the child will help parents to understand the reasons of his fears. If the kid is afraid of terrible fantastic heroes, it is possible to teach him to represent some funny stories which happen to these heroes. It will help to get rid of the sensation of fear. But there is it that the child cannot understand and especially to explain the reasons of concerns. Visualization helps with such cases.
- It is possible to buy a toy in the form of the monster of whom the child is afraid. Playing with a subject of the fear, the kid will see that any it and not the terrible monster.
- Still it is possible to visualize fear, having drawn it. Let the child will tear "the scary drawing" on small parts and will send to garbage.
- "To place" fears in capacity and also to throw out irrevocably.
- To make to the kid "charm". A magic thing or a toy which will preserve and protect.
Fear to sleep separately
Happens that children so get used to sleep with parents that "moving" to a separate bed can be followed by fear.
How to arrive in this case?
- Let it will be a holiday! Real, with spheres, bright new toys.
- It is necessary to prepare the child for an independent dream without parents in advance. To explain that big children at this age do not sleep with dad and mom any more.
- For the first time let the child will fall asleep as got used, in a parental bed, but then will be postponed for the new place.
- To try to surround in the afternoon the kid as it is possible a large amount of attention. If the child receives less parental attention in the afternoon, can begin to demand it at night.
Children's fears pass over time, but it happens to parental care and attention far quicker.
