Question
My child is now 8 months old and has been afraid of noises since birth. As soon as there is a little noise, they jump in fear. The doctor said it’s because of an untreated trauma from when they were little. I’ve just given my child some pediatric calming medicine. What else can I do?
Answer
Hello, a child’s fear of noises is because they are naturally shy. At just 8 months old, as they grow older, it’s a good idea to take them out more frequently, let them meet more people, and hear more sounds. This way, they will become braver and won’t be surprised by unusual noises. I think this method will be a hundred times more effective than taking medicine, what do you think?
