La corporalidad del miedo en los niños y las niñas

Abstract

Fear is an emotion that is part of the evolutionary process of man. It manifests itself in different ways in each subject according to their social, cultural and family context and each individual expresses it in a particular way through their body, their words or their actions. But even when it is something natural, it can also lead to states of discomfort, stress and generate an emotional conflict that affects both physically and mentally. This work seeks to know specifically the perspective of children regarding what fear is and how it affects their body, their development and their way of living reality. For this, spaces of expression were proposed where dialogue, reading, writing, drawing, among other tools, traced the route to learn from children and, based on their narrations, establish the best path to help them face their fears.
