Fear of toys in children, known as pediophobia, can be deeply unsettling, causing anxiety and distress around toys that are perceived as frightening. This phobia can significantly impact a child’s daily life and playtime. Hypnosis has been explored as a therapeutic tool to address such fears. It involves guiding the child into a deeply relaxed state to help them reframe negative perceptions and associations with toys, aiming to reduce anxiety and facilitate normal interaction with toys.
