Abstract
The article reveals the main features and determinants of preschool children's fears. Fear is an emotion that arises when a person's biological or social existence is threatened. Depending on the type of threat, the intensity and character of the experience of fear varies in a fairly wide range of shades, including anxiety, concern, horror. Anxiety should be distinguished from fear. The latter is understood in science as a state when the source of the threat is unknown and unaware.
