\"Common<\/figure>

Fear is a common part of childhood.\u00a0 Most adults can likely look back at their childhood fears and think they were silly.\u00a0 However, for a preschooler, those fears are very real and fear is a strong emotion.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Common Fears<\/span><\/h4>\n

Many children have the same or similar fears.\u00a0 The most common fears children have are a fear of the dark, being alone, bugs, or dogs.\u00a0 Some children may have a fear of the doctor, getting shots, heights, or water.\u00a0 When you feel your preschooler is being overly dramatic over walking into the pool, remind yourself that it is absolutely normal for her to be afraid.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Talk it Out<\/span><\/h4>\n

Talk to your preschooler about her fear.\u00a0 Ask specific, leading questions about what is scary to her.\u00a0 If she is afraid of storms, ask her what is scary about the storm.\u00a0 Once you find out what it is about the item or scenarios that scares her, you can begin helping her work through the fear.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Acknowledge the Fear<\/span><\/h4>\n

Although the fear may seem silly to you, your preschooler needs you to validate his feelings.\u00a0 Instead of telling him there isn’t anything to be afraid of, you may say, \u201cWow, you seem really scared.\u201d\u00a0 You acknowledging his emotions will help him feel more comfortable.\u00a0 Try not to spend too much time on comforting or that may become a negative reinforcement.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Encourage and Praise<\/span><\/h4>\n

Encourage your preschooler by telling her she is being brave or you know she can handle staying in her bed, because she is brave.\u00a0 Let her know you recognize that her trying to conquer her fear is hard and you are proud of her.\u00a0 When she makes progress, no matter how small, praise her!\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Make a Plan<\/span><\/h4>\n

Spend some time talking with your preschooler about conquering his fear.\u00a0 Create a plan together of how you will take baby steps to help him overcome his fear.\u00a0 Be patient and support his efforts.\u00a0 It may take some time for him to be able to regulate his emotions and kick his fear to the curb.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
