Fears and phobias

This collection is designed to help children overcome their fears using structured, developmentally appropriate graded exposure activities.

Resources include psychoeducation worksheets to explain fear responses and avoidance cycles, exposure hierarchy templates to break fears into manageable steps, plus planning and review materials to support and track progress.

Graded exposure is a core, evidence-based CBT technique recommended by NICE guidelines for treating specific phobias in children.
