Journal Title: Journal of Special Education and Rehabilitation - Year 2004, Vol 5, Issue 3

Abstract

Human civilization in all phases of its development has been accompanied by different kinds of fear related to disease, death, injury, separation, pain, loneliness, darkness, imagined creatures, natural appearances etc. Fear has become a constant part of human life and it has always required appropriate mechanisms for defense. It is very important to be mentioned that fears occur with children as well. Fears acquire specific form with physically disabled, ill children and children with poor health etc. A great number of authors explain children’s fears from many aspects connected with the factor and manifestations of certain forms of children’s fear. In that sense, it is pointed out that the reasons for children’s fears can be divided in three categories: innate, endured and imagined. Fear, both with adults and children, is accompanied by concrete physiological processes mainly of biochemical and functional nature.
