Patient's question:
What should I do if the child is afraid of dogs?Doctor's answer:
Hello, I don't know how old the baby is. If it's very young, it might be enough to guide them. For example, buy a gentle puppy, raise it for a while, and let the baby take care of it personally. Puppies are quite lively and less harmful, making them a good starting point. If the child already has cognitive abilities, I suggest asking for the reason. For younger children, if it's not too serious, talking to them out of their reliance and trust in their parents might be more effective than a doctor's intervention. If it's at the middle school stage or very serious, it's recommended to seek psychological counseling rather than directly intervening to solve the problem.
