Managing the Child's Fears

My child's fears seem irrational

Your child is very likely to display insecurities and fears that may seem incomprehensible to you. You can not understand why your child should cling to you just before you leave home, afraid that you will not return. You can understand if your child is afraid of thunder, but why should she be terrified of dogs? It is not important that you comprehend the basis of your child's fears. Whether their fears seem rational or irrational, you must remember that these fears are very real to your child. 
 

How do I deal with my child's fears

You need to handle them gently and sympathetically. She needs your help to cope. Making fun of her or being dismissive of her fears will worsen the situation and make her feel isolated. You must explain to her that there is no need to be frightened, but that you understand if she is.

although british, i live in the usa. very interesting web site. i do have a comment though re: mastubation. my son is estranged from his daughter's mother. they do however share parenting. according to her mother, my grand-daughter started mastubating (my son and i had never seen her do this). the child's mother immediately got in touch with cps (child protective services) and my son did not see his daughter for over three months. incidentally, the charges were dismissed as unfounded. it's good to see that your country realizes when a child mastubates, it doesn't automatically mean that the child has been molested. i sign this, an angry grandmother.

my parenting, its been a long time since i accessed your site. it is so good to be a subscriber of your website. as of now, i am dealing with a problem that is common in most of the kids. i am a parent of a three and a half year old daughter. her name is tanishi(bulbul). she is a brilliant kid. if i say she is well versed in most of the rhymes, can operate computer on her own(from booting to shut it down), sounds made by various kinds of animals, name of the months, name of the weekdays, her observation is also profound , extracting the exact medicine to be given to her grandmother, etc. now these are the traits that are common in any toddler that we can come in contact with (well, its all due to the exposure that they have). we try to relate her to everything that the children of her age should know. in spite of everything she is a very shy child- shy to the extent of being timid. she is very jovial in the homely atmosphere, even outgoing, but when it comes to interacting with a stranger or any newcomer she becomes very reticent. how can we as her parents help her overcome this timid ness? is it reflective of any flaw in the mannerism that we are bringing her up in? she chews her nails a lot. how can i help her in abandoning this habit? please let me know your views regarding my concerns. thank you, aditi.
