Preferred term

childhood phobias  

Definition

  • Childhood phobias are common psychiatric disorders characterized by excessive or unreasonable fear of, or in anticipation of, a circumscribed object or event. In contrast to developmentally appropriate fears (e.g., fear of strangers in a toddler), the fear experienced by the child with a phobia is irrational, though the child may not recognize its irrationality.
