my daughter has me so amused,she has had this great fear of a stuffed little monkey, so great is her fear that she will scream and cry almost hysterical.at first we dismissed it as a passing phase and thought she would outgrow it when even her younger sibbling would chase her with it and she would keep crying and started having nightmares we got rid of it.its weird the other kids see it as a toy but we decided if its her worst fear we should not have it in the house.does your child fear weird things that you find totally harmless?my neighbours son had a fear about a jacket his mum had that has some fur on the collar that he would hide when she wore it,she had to stop wearing it.

Yes, sometimes the little children will have some fears. The reason is unknown. I remember when my son was little, he was so afraid of the fan. At that time it was terrible since we were unable to turn on the fan even if it was in the hot summer. Although we could still use the air-conditioner, but it would be cooler with fan anyway. My son would feel scared once the fan started. We didn't understand why he would be scared to it since he had never been got hurt from a fan. Fortunately as time goes by, he grew up and he was no longer scared of the fan.

My daughter is 9 months old and she is afraid of the lawnmower and the vacuum cleaner. I think it's just the noise she doesn't like, not the objects themselves.
