How to help a child cope with fears: experts reveal secrets

Children quite often face the problem of phobias and fears, so it is extremely important for parents to learn how to respond correctly to this problem.

If you take timely measures, then there will be no trace left of your fears.

What tricks will help with this?

Balance between care and strictness

Both excessive strictness and an excess of care and love have an equally negative impact. In the first case, children grow up anxious and nervous. In such a state, it is extremely easy for them to succumb to any fear, experts believe.

But even a “pampered” child becomes susceptible to fear, since he is deprived of independence.

Communication

Not everyone knows that parental detachment is one of the main reasons for the emergence of fear and phobias. Therefore, it is extremely important for adults not only to satisfy the basic needs of the child, but also to give him the necessary level of communication.

It is extremely important for children to feel an emotional connection with their parents for their full development.

Teasing

Some parents see nothing wrong with making fun of their child and making fun of him. However, this causes insecurity, which is fertile ground for the development of fears and phobias.

Example of parents

If adults appear constantly anxious and worried, children can easily pick up on this. So show your child your strength and resilience.
