Great idea.
Try asking your kids what they're afraid of. I've tried asking both of mine at several different ages, and this always turned up things I didn't know about. Think of all the things you worried about as a kid, and never told anyone.

Big Foot, being murdered while taking a bath, my house burning down In the middle of the night and not having any clothes, tornados, police sirens, snakes coming out of a toilet, cancer, Russian soldiers. You know, the normal stuff.

As a kid, if there was one thing I remember being truly afraid of -- was cows. I could not fathom why a horned animal would be allowed to roam the streets freely (grew up in a small town in India). As I grew up though, things changed.

It often seems to be something to do with animals, which makes evolutionary sense.

I was always scared of my parent finding out I was keeping this secrets from them. I am still scared though, would def. demoralize both of them.

Great idea, how do you help them once you know the issue?

Depends on what it is. Usually the fear is mistaken, and I give them a very specific explanation why (rather than just saying "Oh don't worry.") E.g. one son at 3 or 4 worried about dogs getting into our house. I pointed out they couldn't because our doorknobs were all round.
