What causes phobias in a child?
the precise causes of specific phobias are still unclear, but they may develop as a result of having a traumatic experience or panic attack related to a specific object or situation. for example, a phobia of dogs could have been caused by a frightening experience you had with a dog, such as being chased or bitten. It can also occur from having witnessed a traumatic event happening to someone else. A phobia can also be learnt. For example if a child grows up with a mother who is very fearful of needles, it might be that the child grows up with a related fear.
