What to do if a child is scared

Patient's question:

A child is frightened. I heard that wrapping cinnabar in cloth and hanging it on the child's chest can cure fright. Is this method feasible? Does it involve placing the cinnabar close to the child's skin? I've heard that cinnabar is toxic. Does this approach have any toxic side effects? Please advise.

Doctor's answer:

After a child is frightened, it may have an impact on them, which depends on the severity of the fright and the child's physical constitution. Throughout a child's growth process, they are likely to encounter sudden frights or unexpected events. These often have varying degrees of negative effects on a child's psychology. After a child is frightened, parents should help them gradually overcome psychological fear,, and navigate through the psychological crisis. With a little more attention in daily life, it can be managed well.
