Childhood Fears
••• Posted : 2004-09-20 @ 10:24 p.m.
When I was a kid I had this terrible irrational fear of windows. Actually,
it was the 'Night Goblins' coming to my windows at night that scared me and this
fear was brought on by a simple story my Nana told me to keep me in at night.
I admit, even now, sometimes at night, I catch myself starring at the windows,
then hoping I won't catch a glimpse of 'anything out there', I get up and
close all the curtains.
Now, as a mom, an aunt, and long time daycare provider, I've learned that all
kids have some kind of irrational fear brought on by the combination of their
own wild imaginations and/or misunderstandings of something an adult has said
and am amazed at how common some of them are... (( monsters in the
closest, killer dust bunnies under the bed, etc ))
Do you remember what you were afraid of when you were a little child? What
brought it on? How did you deal with it?
