Children begin to experience fear early in life such as being afraid of the dark, shadows, a monster under the bed or in the closet – all very real to a child. As adults we know that there is no reason for them to be frightened yet we must reassure them that they are safe and secure and in time hope that they will overcome their fears. And then there are children who seem to be fearless – nothing frightens them. They go toward new experiences without any apprehension. The child who is fearful needs support, patience and love and the child who is fearless needs the same reassurances. They are still children and you represent all that is stable in their lives. Let them know that you love them very much and together you can face anything. For more info www.sheilaaronbooks.com.
