When children experience fear, they may react by panicking, running away, hiding, crying, or avoiding situations that scare them. These fears could be caused by negative past experiences or media influences like scary stories or images.

How do jealousy and envy manifest in young children?

Jealousy in young children often arises when they perceive that their parents' attention is shifting to another person, such as a new sibling.

What is the role of catharsis in emotional development during childhood?

During childhood, children learn to regulate their emotions, sometimes using crying, laughing, or playing to release pent-up emotions. This helps them navigate social expectations and manage their feelings more effectively.
