What are modern kids afraid of and how to cope with it?

Kids are scared of everything that they perceive as a threat to their safety, for example, loud noises, barking dogs. So, my son at the age of two was very afraid of the sound of the vacuum cleaner turned on.

But it's easier to deal with these fears, because the older the child gets, the more confident he becomes and the fears go away by themselves.

But those who are older often look for "adventures" themselves, and then they are very, very afraid.

And now the TOP horror stories of children:

Thunder

A terrible and unpredictable crack can shock a child. My friends had a boy who was so afraid of thunder that he looked through weather forecasts to see if thunder and rain were coming, so that he could stay at home and not go outside.

Many psychologists in this situation recommend explaining to the child that thunder is a normal and frequent phenomenon of nature. You are not afraid when the spoon knocks on the plate, and this also happens often.

But it is better for a baby to be in the hands of a parent during thunder in order to feel safe and at the same time it is better for parents to be in a good mood, to tell funny stories, that is, not to focus on thunder as such.

Dogs

Many kids are afraid of dogs because of their loud barking, and if the dog is large, it can jump on and lick. In this situation, it is worth explaining that dogs are very friendly by nature.

But at the same time, do not neglect the safety rules and touch unfamiliar dogs. It would be nice to have your four-legged friend and everything will pass.

Bathing time

Many kids are afraid of bathing, or rather washing their hair. At the same time, children are afraid that the shampoo will pinch their eyes, and the water will not allow them to breathe. I also faced this problem.

My daughter did not want to wash her hair in any way, it was a real torture. And when I sat down with her in the bath and asked her to wash my hair and at the same time told me what pleasure I get from it, my daughter relaxed and allowed her to wash her hair. The fears went away immediately.

Costumed characters

For example, a clown or a huge SpongeBob. I also encountered this. I think there is only one way out, it is not necessary to force the child to be friends with a hateful and terrible clown, this will only aggravate the process. You can try to paint each other at home and imagine yourself as clowns, have fun and joke like him.

Scary nocturnal creatures

Kids are very afraid of the dark, they believe that there is someone in the dark, some monsters or other fatness. At the same time, a night light helps, together with parents, you can inspect the room, look under the bed, check the lockers and make sure that everything is in order.

But in the morning, when it is light and safe to unobtrusively ask the child to draw his horror story. Then draw her a funny face, paint it with all the colors of the rainbow and laugh at her together. The 1xbet is the most sought-after sports betting platform worldwide, including in India.
