How do I feel : When a child expressed fear
Hello all friends,
When I was kid I use to go out of home after its dark. I guess kids afraid of dark and always need a company of any one else if some how that have to be in such situation. In my case I have a specific reason for same. We were living in a village, the life here in village is different form the city life where most of the time you are inside the home only. In our case our bathroom was not attached with the rooms and in form portion of the house we have a open space. So whenever we have to go to washroom we have to come out of the room and then only we can access the bathroom by going though the open space. A tall structure was seen form our frontward and in the night time I always feel scary whenever I saw the structure and that was the big reason I always feel afraid to go out in the night. We live in city now but still I find that my kid is afraid of dark which is usual but she always want company of someone even if she is going to washroom during night special when the light were off. Even if we switch on the lights then also she want someone to take her to washroom which actually concern to me. We are inside the house and our house is also not so big that we can not hear or feel if some is in rooms and still such behavior of my kids is not good sign.
Which make the kids to feel afraid in dark? I guess we parents and family members only responsible for such conditions. At first when we tell them the story of bad man which comes in the night or similar stories and we only expect for them not to fear in the dark. The brain of kid is like a clean board and it's up to us but we want to write on it. So our behavior and teaching maters a lot. The kids are very good imagination capabilities. What they heard and what they saw on TV which also reflects in their imagination. This is the biggest season they are afraid of dark. Whoever a kid enter in dark their mind start creating imaginary character form dark like ghosts, monster etc. This is funny but scary truth. The kids has poor understanding so when they are I dark they do not able to differentiate the real and imaginary objects even a doll in the low light area seen something else to them.
This is very important to take the out of this fear and tell them the reality. But this can not happened in one day we have to be patient and it should be step by step approach. The first thing is we much take it easy and talk to them politely. We must understand that they are just kid and they need our support and care. Trying to push them will not work. Providing a night light will help for sure and its better to start with bright light at first. Reduction the intensity of light in steps will make them comfortable and help in merge in the environment. The scary content and stories are big reason which give rise to their imagination so avoiding the is also helpful.
In case of my kid this helps and hope will work for their kids also.
