Our project looks at the fears of both children and parents from 1880 to 1950 in the United States. We saw how fears affected children and families differently depending on race, class, and region. Opinions on fears and how they should be handled were greatly influenced by child psychologists of the time and the Child Saving Movement. We looked at fear of war, fear of hell, fear of violence, fear of illness, and many other fears that plagued families during this time period. We researched how these fears affected daily lives and how society functioned such as school attendance dropping at certain periods due to fear of children getting ill. On the topic of fear, many data points are not widely available so as our history continues to be researched and more information becomes known future research could be interesting to look at death rates, specifically in children as fear of illness became more prevalent in families. It would also be interesting to look at draft numbers as fear of war grew. Another possible topic of research that does not have much information is violence received in schools by both teachers and bullies which was a large fear for many children.
