![]() ![]() A fear of dogs for example, could have its beginnings in an actual scary encounter with a dog, hearing about someone being traumatised by a dog, or seeing a news story or a movie about a dog attack. It might be something that happened to the person, to someone else, or something that was heard about in a story, a movie or in the news. Often (but not always) when there are specific phobias or fears in children, there will be a starting point – something that happened that first made the fear come to life. The good news is that phobias and fears in children are very manageable, and with the right guidance and strategies, kids can be empowered to move straight through the middle of the intense fears that get in their way. The fear is real and persuasive, and for kids, they can be particularly debilitating. Phobias happen when tame, harmless things turn into bullies. They take on a power they don’t deserve, in ways that often don’t make sense. ![]()
