 \nChildren are born into the world knowing very little,andthey arrive expecting love,gentleness and understanding.While parents provide as much love and attention as they can,one or two adults aren't always enough to provide all theattention and tenderness a young child expects.When thingshappen that children don't comprehend,or when they are leftalone too much,they can easily become frightened.Manyexperiences which seem harmless and matter-of-fact togrownups can frighten a child,who is keenly tuned to sensetensions we take for granted.In particular,our children areunprepared for sudden,painful or thoughtless occurrences.Early separation from mother or father,sudden,unexplainedchanges in who cares for her,tense conversations within thefamily,teasing by aggressive relatives,or exposure to violenceon TV are the kinds of things that can frighten a child,eventhough nothing physically harmful has happened.  \nIn addition,some children face direct physical trauma veryearly in life.A long or difficult birth,prematurity,treatmentfor jaundice,even circumcision can frighten an infant anddiminish the blessings of peace and ease during the first  \nmonths of life.Some children,because of serious trauma,leadlives which are always tense with underlying fear.  \nWhen a child feels frightened,she has difficulty staying inclose contact with her loved ones.She can't hold your gaze forlong,and will either be slow to experiment and to trustpeople,or will be constantly\"on the go,\"unable to slowdown and enjoy your presence in a relaxed way.Fear alsomakes children edgy and hard to please:things have to be\"just so\"or the frightened child flares with impatience oranger.Life does not roll easily from one sunny pastime to thenext for the young child who is afraid.  \nSometimes,you'll be called upon to help your child recoverfrom her fears just after the fright has occurred.For example,a bounding dog has just been pulled away from your child,who is standing unhurt but terrified and screaming.Morefrequently,your child will come to you with a fear she hashad for some time.Nothing real threatens her,but fear gripsher just the same.The child who was once frightened by abounding dog is seized by that same fear when invited totouch a dozing classroom rabbit.A child who has always beenafraid of meeting new people is panicked again on the firstday of first grade.  \n## —\n\nHow Children Recover from their Fears  \nWe parents can help our children recover completely fromtheir fears.Few of us have seen more than a moment or twoof the the recovery process our children try to use.It is a  \ndifficult one for parents to support,because when children areshedding fear,they feel deeply afraid.Children shed theirfears as they tremble,cry loudly without tears,perspire,andhave active kidneys.Children need us to come close andlisten through their fears,just as they need us to come close  \nand listen when they cry.While children recover from griefthey feel utterly sad,as though the heartbreak will never end.Similarly,as you move closer your fearful child her fears willbecome more intense.She may struggle against you as shetrembles and perspires.Messy and noisy though it may be,this process is very efficient.Over time,a fussy,timid orbelligerent child will transform her whole demeanor andapproach to life if given the chance to shed the fears shecarries.By listening to panic and frantic fear,you can clearimportant stumbling blocks from your child's life.You canhelp her reclaim the confidence her fears have pirated away.  \nYour child has probably made repeated attempts to use thisrecovery process to shed her fears.Frightened infants will tryto ","cbCaiecGTbyMATm3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiecGTbyMATm3","pdf",2366346,28,"English","# Where Do Children's Fears Come From?\n# How Children Recover from their Fears\n## Children Often Show their Fears Indirectly","[{\"question\":\"Where do children’s fears come from?\",\"answer\":\"Children are born with limited understanding and depend on adults for safety.
