Some families scare their children from evil, darkness, jinn(goblin) and others. What would happen if someone scares the children?

The writer/producer AEPO has talked to some people and a doctor about the disadvantages of scaring children.

Mir Alam Gul says that his children are afraid to go to another room in the evening.

Children psychiatric, doctor Mohib Zgham says: there is no evil to scare children from it. Scaring would annoy children. When she/he gets younger, the fear would accompany him/her. Fear and scaring reduce self-trust, if someone doesn’t treat it, they might suffer from it during his/her whole life.

Scared children might face many problems as they would not dare to talk in front of a crowd and would not be able to perform any good task.

How to prevent scaring children?

Avoid children to watch terror films and hear horror stories; do not scare them from evils, darkness and other objects and if possible, take them with you anywhere you go.
