BACKGROUND
Understanding these common fears and phobias in children is important for parents, caregivers, and educators to provide appropriate support and guidance.
Fears and phobias in children are common and can vary widely based on individual experiences and developmental stages
WHAT CAUSES INTENSE FEARS OR PHOBIAS?
CONCEPTS
Phobias involve an exaggerated or extreme fear response that is disproportionate to the actual threat posed by the feared object or situation. Phobias are intense and persistent fears that often lead to avoidance behaviors and significant distress or impairment in daily functioning.
Fear is a natural emotional response to perceived threats or dangers. It is a common and adaptive reaction that can help individuals avoid harm and stay safe. Fears are typically mild to moderate in intensity and may fluctuate in response to changing circumstances
