Clowns can be frightening. Please do not let your son watch "It". My son developed a fear of clowns after watching that movie. I agree with one of the other responders. Do we have to get over our fears. How many grown ups are out there that are still afraid of heights? When he comes across a clown, you should first calm him down and just walk the other way. If he never gets over his fear this a very good way of handling the situation as an adult, without being totally embarrassed.

My two oldest are also afraid of clowns. Do not push them on him first of all. Clown fears are very normal.
Also what seemed to help us is pretending we were clowns and putting make up on us so they can see that clowns are just people with make up on. When they get to wear and apply the make up it is not so scary.
Any place you might go where there are clowns just be supportive and not pushy.
I really believe it is something he will outgrow in time.

Is there something that says that we have to get over every fear that we have? I am 25 and I have always been afraid of clowns. They are REALLY creepy! Who smiles all the time anyway?!

honey some people have alot of fears my brother is a marine and 28 yrs old and he wont take his kids to the circus because he hates clowns,I dont know if I can say that he will ever get over that.My son hates flowers that on flip flops and wont touch them.Just whenever you see one just say ohh nice clown and that might work cuz a child knows that their mom wont let anything hurt them .

i wouldn't be pushy about it...i've known lots of people with clown fears.
however, if it was my son, i would probably ask him if he wanted to play dress up! then we could paint our faces like clowns and he would see that clowns are people with make-up on! sometimes, kids can't see the correlation. they just see this freakish face of bright colors...not a person.
if he starts to get upset, though, get rid of the paint and deal with the fact that he doesn't like clowns and probably never will.
take care and good luck!
