24、couragement, a poor family, higher education and opportunities. DAlmost every child is scared of something, from monsters in the cupboard to dogs in the park. But the fact that such fears are common and normal doesnt mean they can be taken lightly. Kids experience fears and phobias（恐惧症） much more st

25、rongly than adults. And the influence of the fear can be physical as well as psychological （心理的）. It can build up so they almost seem scared of everything-a kind of childhood anxiety. Dr. Creswell says: “Your child may always seem to expect the worst to happen and lack confidence in his or her abili

29、one thats good with children, of course-then you should encourage them to carry on until they feel calmer, and reward them forbeing brave.”68Childrens fears are usually taken lightly because .Athey will not develop into phobiasBtheir influence is psychologicalCthey exist widely in the worldDthey wil
