When your children are three or four years old, they often have
different kinds of fears. They can be afraid of dogs, spiders, insects, fire
engines, death etc. Children's imagination has reached a stage when he/she can
imagine himself/herself in somebody's shoes and imagine the dangers that he/she
has not experienced yet. According to the specialists' point of view, at this stage
the child wants to learn the mutual connections in the surrounding world. Even
driving kids power wheels, the kid is always looking around.
Such fears are often introduced at children experiencing worries because
of troubles with feeding and toilet training; whose imagination is agitated by
scary stories; who do not provide enough opportunities for the development of
individuality and sociability; whose parents are too careful of them.
