Why This Project?

As mentioned briefly in the “About” (Summary of the Project), an attempt has been made to find out the root causes of ‘Fear in Children' and search for the solutions to tackle their fear in an effective manner. We will also try to implement these solutions and help our friends with our learnings to deal with different kinds of fears.

What stimulated us to undertake this Project?

During the course of our time spent in the school, it was observed that many of our classmates were hesitant to stand up and answer the questions posed by the teacher. Some of them were even afraid of performing on stage. Some children were also found seldom interacting with their fellow classmates. One of the major reasons for all these acts we found was 'FEAR' .

What we thought?

We the 'Team of  Six'  aged below 'THIRTEEN' from India and Romania thought "Why can't" we understand this 'FEAR', a little deeply and help our friends to overcome their fear.
