Hi there! Are you afraid of the dark? If not, why do you think some people are?
I actually am afraid of the dark. It's more about what I can't see in the darkness
I can see that. Is it made worse if you think you hear something strange?
Yes, definitely!  It's actually a pretty common phobia in kids and adults
Oh I don't doubt it. I certainly wouldn't blame anyone who had that fear. Do you think kids could "grow out of it," or is it always with them?
I think they could grow out of it. Most children don't show fear until they're at least 2
You seem to know a bit about kids. Do you have any?
Yes, I have 2 girls and a boy. Only one of them has a fear of the dark. Some consider it to be pathlogical
