I chose this topic because I thought it would be interesting to learn more about phobias and how they impact children. I learned that children can have a variety of different phobias that can impact them in different ways and have different levels of impact. For example, some children may be impacted at the level where they can still go out normally but will avoid their phobias, other children may be impacted to the point they do not want to go outside due to their phobia. I also learned about the different strategies there are to control and deal with phobias. It is sometimes as easy as naming the phobia and accepting it, or playing with the children and creating stories for them in a way that helps with their phobia. Additionally, I thought that some strategies and phobias were interesting. For example, some children may be afraid of people, this surprised and interested me because I always thought that children were very outgoing and excited to talk with others. Some examples of strategies that interested me were the play strategy, the "Name it to tame it" strategy, creating monsters that would protect the children so they would not fear other monsters, and telling children why what is scaring them is scary to them.

This video is basically summarized by it's title. Kids describe their phobias and fears, like clowns and bumblebees, and an illustrator depicts them on a piece of paper so they can have a visual description of their phobais. Like the "Name it to tame it" strategy, perhaps this visualization and ability to talk to someone about their fears was cathartic for the kids.

In this video Doctor Robin F. Goodman speaks about why childhood phobias may manifest, how they manifest, and how to deal with them. She talks about how children may start to avoid experiences or other things that have scared them in the past and how if the child encounters this thing or experience they may start to shake and experience a lot of fear. The advice the doctor gives is to tell or show the child they should not be as scared of their phobia as they are, or if it gets to a point that they will not go anywhere for fear of their phobia the best thing to do is go to a mental health proffesional.

In this video, they talk about the fears of children and how to handle them. Possible origins like the time of year, people talking about fears, and other factors are talked about in order to communicate why a fear may manifest. Time of year refers to times like Halloween when children may be experiencing new fears due to new facets in their environment, like costumes or scary movies. The technique to handle fears discussed in this video is having conversations with the child about their fear; for example, how it came to be, how to help with it, what does their fear look like, and what routines or techniques could help. It is mentioned that if the fear grows very large, it is best to talk with proffesionals like child physcologists.
