i hold her close to me, soothe her, name the feeling, and talk. in my opinion, the feeling that a child feels - fear - is real, so i never question it. we talk a lot about what caused the fear. is it a belt - a snake, lying under the bed? is it real? is it a snake? can we take a look? just one step and carefully? just to make sure if it really is...
i pretend that i am also scared.
i comfort and reassure him that i am with him and he has nothing to fear.
depending on the circumstances—if the fear is justified, for example, if an unfamiliar dog is approaching, i pick them up; but if they are afraid of the dark, we take a flashlight, talk, play with shadows, and so on.

i say that there is nothing to be afraid of, i turn on the light to show that there is nothing, that it is safe at home and the doors are locked.
depending on what one fears, the most common fear is related to the misunderstanding of the world, so if needed, we defend, and if necessary, we explain (how and why:)).
