Everybody is afraid of something. More than 2500 children told us what they were afraid of. Some don’t like the darkness. Some hate bad dreams and scary movies(恐怖片). And some of them want to run away from dogs and snakes.
Tom, 11, is afraid of the darkness because he worries that someone might break into his house.
10-year-old Kathy said he was afraid of thunderstorms(闪电) and the sound at night.
The worst thing about the afraid feeling is that we don’t know how to deal with it. Here are three ways to help children feel better.
1. Do something interesting in your free time.
2. Talk to your parents about your feeling.
3. Talk to a close friend.
