Fear is a common experience in childhood and can manifest in many ways from nightmares to anxieties about new situations or unfamiliar environments. Understanding how fear develops in young minds involves looking at both biological and environmental factors. Children process emotions differently from adults and often need extra support to make sense of what scares them. Stories and narratives provide a framework that allows children to confront these feelings in a controlled and safe way, offering scenarios where characters experience and navigate fear without real-world consequences. Exposure to such narratives can facilitate discussions about feelings and help children identify their own emotions.
