Useful tips on how to deal with scared kids
處理孩子恐懼心態的有用訣竅
Emily Clearwater, 7, says she isn’t afraid of anything. Her mother, Jennifer Clearwater of Port Washington.Wis., would disagree. “I know something you’re scared of that you’re not admitting to. Insects,” Jennifer said. “You’re scared of bugs!” As it turns out, Emily also is afraid of getting shots, the dark (but only “kind of”) and getting lost (which is often the subject of her bad dreams). She isn’t alone. All children have fears – it’s a natural part of life. Overcoming them is a rite of passage and a sign that we’re growing up.
For advice on coping with common childhood fears, we spoke with pediatric psychologist Andrea Begotka and clinical psychologist Kathleen Longeway of Children’s Hospital of Wisconsin.
Separation Anxiety
Why it’s common:
Begotka said this boils down to the attachment a child has to his or her parents.
How to overcome it:
Begotka’s 15-month-old son, Jake, just went through a mild separation anxiety phase. She said the key is to establish trust between you and your child. “We came and left the room frequently when home to show him that we come back when we leave.” she said.
