GeneralDear Parents,
Many young children have different fears, such as a fear of darkness, of being separated from their parents, of insects and animals, or of imaginary creatures. These fears are part of their normal process of growth and adaptation to the constantly occurring changes in their environment, as long as it does not paralyze them or affect their daily activity. By embracing our child and understanding and talking to them about their fears, instead of denying them or mocking them, we, as adults, help the child overcome those fears and pass this stage peacefully.
