Conquering Fear in the Child by Common Sense Methods.

"It is evident that the first and most important step to be taken in
fighting fear in the child is the establishment of physical health," is
the conclusion of Dr. Josiah Morse in _The Sunday Magazine_.

"Whenever a parent finds that a child is becoming timorous, she may be
sure that the child is not enjoying perfect health. A physician should
straightway be consulted. Fear thrives upon weakness; it also aggravates
weakness. Many a child has been weakened mentally and physically by
fright or a shock, or by witnessing frequent expressions of fear in its
mother.

"So we may say that the best way to fight fear is carefully to avoid
inducing it in children, and to be on the watch, so as to be able to nip
in the bud those fears which are more or less natural to children, and
which appear of their own accord."

Dr. Morse holds that frequent calming and explanative conversations with
the child, analyzing things that appear to cause it fear, and showing
that grounds for fear do not exist, suppression of fearsome emotions in
the parent, and strict cultivation of the child's physical health will
take from it those mental torments which afflict so many.
