Even healthy, normally developed baby at first, completely helpless and defenseless, for it is constantly to care.

1. Increased fearfulness of the baby can occur in many different ways. For example, night terrors, sometimes close to nightmares. Symptoms: the child wakes up suddenly with a loud cry, frightened looks around, not immediately able to calm down, even took his hands. Any attempt to put him back in his crib, especially, to leave him alone in the room, boy meets new crying, screaming. If parents do not take action to stop the night fears (like: "nothing will scream, cry – get used to it"), then the child can come to persistent sleep disorder, poor appetite, will be a feeling of weakness, constant fatigue. In the most severe cases it can lead to a nervous disorder.
2. Very often, the fear of the child expressed fear of being alone. Many parents know the scenario: a child picks up a desperate roar as soon as he is left alone, even by day, and for a short time. It comes to most of this hysteria. The reasons for this fear are different: features of physiological and mental development of the baby, and errors in training (too accustomed to the hands), etc.
3. The child is often frightened of loud noises. Just because he is not able to link cause and effect, and does not understand that the sound of the vacuum or grinder doesn't hold any threat of danger. The baby knows only one thing: something terrible roared. It's probably some horrible monster. To determine this fear is very simple: the child at every loud sound which sounded in the house or on the street, sharply, shudders, begins to cry.
4. Children are also often frightened of dogs. Alas, neither the owners of the friars, nor the parents often do not even try to put yourself in the place of the baby. Moreover, sometimes the parents themselves bring the baby to the dog: "She's a good, good, she won't bite!" And where it can know a child, a person who has suddenly appeared fanged jaws? After all, a small child even decorative dog seem huge. This fear is also easily determined: the kid shivers, cries, heard a dog barking. But when a dog he might even go hysterical.
