0830 Parents Can Help Kids Get Over Their Fears 空中英語教室

Fear of dogs
Why it's common: this is often because of a bad experience with a dog, but it also happens when children are unfamiliar with dogs. How to overcome it: Begotka said parents should teach their child the proper way to introduce themselves to dogs. Children can turn to the side sightly so if the dog jumps on them, they won't gt hurt. Before petting a dog, the child should hold out his or her hand and allow the dog to sniff it.
Fear of the Dark
Why it's common:" In the dark,they don't know what's in the room with them," Begotka said." Their mind are imaginative at that age, so they can imagine things that are really scary."

How to overcome it: Begotka and Longeway both recommanded a nightlight, a tactic that helped Emily Clearwater when she was afraid of the dark. Begotka and Longeway also recommand giving the child a security object, like a blanket or a teddy bear.
Fear of Needles
Why it's common:"It causes some sort of discomfort," Begotak said. "It's scary to have someone poking something into you." How to overcome it: This is another opportunity for a special security object, which can be given to the child for reassurance. Begotka also suggested distracting a child by talking about something else while the shot is administered, holding the child or telling the child to count how long it takes.
