Table of contents

When she returned a few minutes later, he was happily playing on the iPad. Part memoir, part deep-dive investigation into the current state of modern parenting, Small Animals explores how parents today, unlike those of previous generations, have been thrust into a hyper-competitive culture of fear and anxiety. This, Brooks asserts, has created a toxic environment where parenting intersects with paranoia and parents are pitted against one another a spiraling game of Who Can Worry More?

But why are parents so scared? And how did things get so bad? Can you explain? After this happened, I wondered: Did I do something that was risky? Did I do something that was wrong?

As I researched it, though, I found that the most dangerous thing I actually did that day was put my son in the car and drive someplace. Around children die or are injured every day in car accidents, but we tend not to think of that as dangerous. Instead, we think a lot about child abduction, for example, which is much rarer.

Hot car deaths , where a parent forgets their child in the car, happens about 30 times a year. Hot cars and abduction aside, what are some of the other common parenting fears you came across in your research? What are parents really scared about? The fears are really wide-ranging. In the book, I divide them into two types of fear. One type is fear of the external world. The other type of fear is a more general kind of anxiety that stems from an increase in class stratification, a decrease in social mobility, and the collapsing social safety net. Are there any fears that are substantiated statistically in the last 30 years?

Has anything changed that we actually should be worried about? Climate change, of course, is coming to mind. The rates of childhood obesity and Diabetes in children are soaring. Also, depression in kids and teenagers. I grew up in the s and 80s, and if you look back at the way our parents raised kids of that generation, it was as if they had no fear about what was happening because we were off doing our own thing. Why are parents so afraid these days? I grew up in the s, as well. Part of it may be that the pendulum is swinging back from that decade, which was more of a me-first moment in time with a lot of individualism.

There was a lot of divorce. It was a more permissive culture. So parents like us now want our kids to feel like we see them, that we care about them, and that we have their best interest at heart. Hi Melanie I would really encourage you to work with a counsellor or therapist to explore what this means for you. Wishing you all the very best. My 3 year old daughter has developed a fear of using the toilet after hearing a very loud flushing while she was using the toilet on a ship.


  • Fear of Being a Passenger (Amaxophobia).
  • The Morning Call - We are currently unavailable in your region;
  • Why kids get hit by cars – Association for Psychological Science – APS.

At first she refused to use all toilets even at home and at relatives, now she has come round to using the toilets she was familiar with, but completely refuses and has panic attacks when pushed to use toilets outside. She even started wetting herself at school and is now leaving school early due to this problem. We tried explaining that there is nothing to be scared of, tried with rewards and she is even attending play therapy sessions however nothing seems to be working.

What is the best way to tackle such a situation? My 8 year old grandson has phobias. It started with buttons when he was 2 or 3 years old.

Doctor noooooo!

This school year his class has to learn how to play the recorder. He is terrified of blowing into the flute-like instrument. His teacher suggested that he pretend that he is blowing, but to just hold it to his lips. The first day of class his body shook with fear and anxiety. I am wondering how the ladder strategy would work for helping him take the next step. My 12 year old is extremely afraid of dogs. She told me she was going to work on her fear of dogs and I have tried to be patient with her.

She barely touched him with the tip of the finger and that was a month ago.

She refuses to be around him uncaged. I have tried to get her to go on a walk with us and she cried and screamed the whole time. She wants me to give him away. It sounds as though petting might be too much to start with. Try starting with pictures of dogs, or looking at dogs through a fence and then work up from there. My 5 year old son has suddenly become afraid of getting dirt and anything else under his nails. He heard a story about someone that got a tick under their nail and he has been terrified ever since.

He also had an ant crawl near his head recently and has become afraid of bugs, which is causing him to not want to play outside. Thank you for this article but I would love to hear more suggestions. He just finished kindergarten and has been home for just under 2 weeks. This started at her field day at school last month when she kept getting buzzed by bumble bees. I had to pick her up early today because she thought she heard a wasp fly by her.

Toddlers, preschoolers, and fear

I got her some new outside toys and we spent the afternoon outside playing. If a flying insect came anywhere near her I had her come stand by me and just move away from it. I hate seeing her so afraid. She emotionally melts down when she is around anyone eating it. I am having a hard time figuring out how to do the stepladder approach with her.

Anxious Child, Ages 1 to 3

Trisha, this sounds difficult for both of you. First, explain that you understand how tough it is for her, and that you imagine she would prefer not to feel like this. Then, work on the stepladder plan. Ask her, what you can do that would be braver than last time? You might start by looking at pictures of the fruit candy, then looking at a real box of it, then looking at the candy itself, then smelling it, touching it, eating a tiny bit of it, then more and more.

Spend as much time as you need to on the steps. Remember, there is no hurry. I hope this helps with some ideas for how to move forward.
