As for my kids, the were blog when they were toddlers. They weren’t afraid of anything maybe because when they were growing up, there were no frequent thunder storms. As for strangers, they grew up near a public market and maybe seeing daily strangers drove fear away.
The only fear I can see as of now that they have grown up are horror movies. As much as I don’t want them to watch these things, they are the ones that is always in the mood for it. So somehow, I just let them watch under supervision. I wanna be there when something gruel things happen and explain the reality of it.
As for my 8 months old baby, she is afraid of people she don’t know when she is left alone with them. But she often smiles to total strangers if she is carried by us.
I just noticed my son Jake that he scaresof thunder. Before hedoesnt care. the more he is aware of the surrounding we see some of his fears.
