Abstract	By watching, listening, and offering gentle reassurance, you can help young children work through their fears. Sudden noises, movement, or unfamiliar people often frighten babies. After 12 months of nurturing experiences with familiar teachers and routines, a baby is more prepared and less easily startled. Preschoolers have a variety of fears such as a fear of ghosts or thunder. These fears are frequently heightened by their vivid imaginations, and they may have difficulty in separating appearances from reality. This often causes them to behave in ways that may seem irrational. By kindergarten, children become aware of the different developmental (and academic) levels among their classmates. They are quite aware of who can already read and write and who is still scribbling and these comparisons can turn into worries and even fears. This article presents ways to help children at different ages and stages manage their fears. (ERIC).
