儿童在发育过程中,会对某些事物感到恐惧,如怕动物、怕水,怕火、怕黑暗、怕陌生人,甚至对代表某些事物的词语也会发生恐惧。还有一些孩子看见医生或接受注射时,也会产生恐惧反应。恐惧反应可表现为惊慌、惊叫、退缩、痛苦、求救,甚至逃避或对抗,这在孩子接受医疗时(如注射药物)表现最为典型。不少父母为此而感到迷惑不解:我的孩子为什么如此胆小? In the process of development, children may feel fear of certain things, such as fear of animals, fear of water, fear of fire, fear of darkness, fear of strangers, and even fear of words representing certain things. Still others have fear or reaction when they see a doctor or receive an injection. Fear reactions can manifest themselves as panic, exclamation, withdrawal, distress, distress, or even avoidance or confrontation, which is most typical when the child is receiving medical treatment (eg, injectable drugs). Many parents are puzzled by this: Why is my child timid?
