A fear of the dark. A fear of thunderstorms. A fear of monsters in the closet. Even a fear of being sucked down the bathroom drain. Although they are frightening, childhood fears are generally a benign part of growing up. In this program, parents and experts share their insights about the fears that affect children at different ages. The use of such fears to chart a child's cognitive development and ways to help children cope with their fears are also discussed.
