Certain neurotic reactions such as an intense fear of snakes may have little effect on the child’s general functioning but more pervasive and frequent neurotic reactions can have adverse effect on a child’s personal growth. Children must learn to cope with neurotic events.
Fear is a felling of psychological discomfort resulting in many psychosomatic problems like increased heart rate etc.
