The book is terrible regarding the examples it provides. If a child hasn't even had the idea in their mind that they might be afraid of the dark or that they don't want to be around a lot of people, etc. (all the examples are almost unfortunate), it confuses them and makes it happen to them from the moment they read it. The little kids for whom the book is supposedly intended, that is, two-year-olds, are at a highly sensitive age regarding these things and cannot evaluate the content and understand that, for example, "okay, I am not afraid of the dark, but someone else is, so that's fine." The next time they find themselves in the dark, they will start thinking that if someone is afraid of it, there must be a reason for it, and thus it begins to spin in their minds. Both of my children were negatively affected. Completely inappropriate overall. Fear could at least be connected to something that is not part of a baby's daily life. For example, I am afraid to go on the amusement park ride, I am afraid to climb the tree so I don't fall, etc. For the love of God, let's not put our hands in our eyes with things from our everyday life. Even children who have such fears are not helped as it offers no solution. It simply confirms the emotion.
