Tis the season for ghouls,
ghosts and goblins. As adults we
may lake great delight in creating
costumes, planning parties, and
anticipating the adventures our
children will experience as we
celebrate Halloween.
But in some ways, this may be
more of an adult holiday than we
imagine. In fact, parents should
really take thoughtful caution with
younger children. Have you ever
slaved long nights to create this
perfect homemade costume for
your three-year-old only to have
her scream with fear as you put the
disguising hat on?
Children’s fears are not to be
minimized. And parents should
know that for younger children,
Halloween activities may be

unpleasant if not planned
carefully.
Children experience three types
of fears inborn fears, age
related fears, and fears from
traumatic experiences. As a
parent, you may be comforted to
know that many of your children’s
fears are quite normal for their
ages. For instance, it is expected
that:
• many 7-8 month olds will
begin to fear strangers.
• many 2-year-olds will fear
changes in familiar things (a
mother’s new haircut, a father’s
new beard or glasses); they also
fear animals and other large
objects.
• many 3- to 5-year-olds will
fear the dark, masks, and imagin-

ary monsters. They may also fear
wild animals and strange noises.
• many 5-year-olds fear physi
cal harm like getting hurt from a
ball or bitten by an animal
• many 6-year-olds fear that
others will hurt them. They fear
ugly noises, ghosts, witches.
• many 6- to 11-year olds fear
ridicule and rejection.
Age-rclatcd fears disappear if
treated by adults with understand
ing and support. But by just
reviewing this list, you can sec
how children might be less-lhan
thrilled about participating in Hal
loween parties and traditions.
If you are a parent, take time
this week to consider your child’s
very normal fears and work
around them. Here are a few
important tips
• Don’t punish your child for
being fearful. This only adds a
fear of rejection or pain to his
other fear.
• Don’t ovcr-protect. This gives
your child a sense that she can’t
take care of herself.

• Instead, ask a child ‘Tell me
what you afraid of.”
• Don’t force contact. In some
cases, a parent can take away fear
by turning on a light, removing a
mask, or snuggling a child in the
presence of a scary, costumed
person.
• In advance, talk with your
child about the gathering or the
trick-or-treating experience. You
may want to “play” the event in
advance. Read picture books that
show how children can make cos
tumes and dress up and look diffe
rent and yet still be a child inside.
• Play “what if...”. Ask your
child, “If we are walking up to
Uncle Jim’s porch, and you sec a
scary person, what can you do?”

This allows your son or daughter
to think about handling the fear.
He could hold your hand, walk on
the other side of the yard, say
“stay away from me,” or other
things. This allows your child to
feel some control.
Halloween can be a time for
children to pretend and celebrate.
But unfortunately, it can also be a
time of increased fear. As the time
approaches, carefully consider the
situations your children will face,
Arc there any that will prey on
their normal fears? Arc they
necessary? Can you prepare your
child for some of the unusual
sights? Making this an enjoyable
experience for both adults and
children is a matter of taking time.
