Is the feeling of fear a common problem in children? Or children just pretend to be scared. They hesitate to approach a stranger or run away after seeing something. Often we parents ignore these things about our children. Because we think that the child is doing this because of disobedience. But this is not the case at all; this fear becomes so dominant in children that they fall into depression.
There are many reasons for such fear in children when children mostly remain separated from their parents. If the children are threatened in any way, or if any member of the family has done something wrong with the children. Apart from this, there can be many reasons for this in children such as children watching too much TV or phone. Not having a good diet, mutual tension between parents at home etc.
