Helping Your Anxious Child
By Katherine Guzman
All children have fears but not all have anxieties. Time for you, as a parent, to learn how to deal with those anxieties. Being afraid of the dark is a very common fear among children. Even adults jump at shadows—ever watched a horror movie and tried to get a glass of water in dim light? From bugs to darkness to strange phenomena, children are afraid of the unknown. They have no reference point to explain these new stimuli, and they turn to the most basic instinct of human nature: fight-or-flight.
