Children's Fears

Only a foolish man is not afraid. The wise man realizes that the emotion of fear serves a very important part in the pattern of his life. It will always be present, thus, it is to his advantage to learn to adjust to it. Pear is neither all desirable nor all undesirable. Father McCarthy says, |"No other single factor in man’s experience is responsible for so much misery and Inefficiency as is fear and its derivatives—worry, anxiety, doubt, and the persuasion of one’s own incompetency. No other cause produces so many abnormalities." |Since we are born with the emotion of fear according to most psychologists, and since the early years of a child’s life form a background for possible neurosis in adult life, it is very important that one understands the fears of children and their relation to personality development.
