Up to 6 months of age the child may be afraid of losing the base of support, support or balance in space, and loud, intense and unknown noises. It is characteristic in the first two years of life to be afraid of strangers, be they people or objects: the fear of strangers, of being abandoned, of certain objects, of unusual places. Fear of strangers is modulated by experience. It is minor if contact with strangers is carried out in the company of persons with whom the child maintains an affective bond (parents, for example), if the contact with the stranger is not done abruptly, but gradually, and if It is not of short duration.
The greater the exposure of the baby to unknown persons, the less fear is that he will adapt to this new situation more easily.
Children are often afraid of the dark. It can be said that this fear is almost normal, but it intensifies more with what they see on television and with what they hear from others. Remember that fears are induced, and that they are not born with those fears.
As the child grows and increases his cognitive ability, his fears become more elaborate: fear of imaginary catastrophes or misfortunes, fear of ridicule and social disapproval, fear of physical harm. In the appearance of these fears has a lot to do with the child's contact with the school, with other children and with teachers. Assessing your school and sports skills and comparing them with each other may be of concern to the child. Until age 12, concerns about school-related issues (poor school performance), family (possible conflicts between parents), accidents and illness may be normal. At these ages, fear of death, the disappearance of loved ones, fear of accidents, fires are common.
