When do fears begin? At what age do people learn their fears? Are some fears born with people and are they stronger fears to target?
I am proposing these questions as I have a three (3) week old daughter. I have been doing haunts for well over a decade and I, like many, am only "kind of" into the clown fear. My 3 week old daughter has a swinging basket we sit her in when we clean the living room. It plays 8 songs. When the happy carnival music comes on she screams bloody murder until the music is off. Even if my wife or I pick her up. She is stressed out and anticipating danger, at three weeks of age, when she hears carnival music.
Anyone else have other such experience? Fears people seem to exhibit WAY before you would think they would even know to have a fear. Does this indicate that for her clowns and carnival music will be an illogical crazy fear throughout her life? My wife's sister has an insane fear of clowns.... but could it actually be a inherited base fear of something else... and what?
Sorry for the heavy thought right at the top of build season craziness.
