It is normal for children to feel afraid at times. Fear is an emotion that can help kids be cautious. Things that are new, big, loud, or different can seem scary at first. This book helps parents and educators start a conversation with children about what is frightening them. Through the suggested exercises and activities adults can help kids feel safe and learn to feel at ease.
This book is a practical guide that helps parents and educators to contribute to children’s mental health, making them happier adults when they grow up.
The book contains 32 exercises that will guide children between 5 and 10 years of age to fight and reduce their fears, and to feel better about themselves. The exercises have been designed and adapted to suit the most common fears in this age range, such as fear of darkness/sleeping/nightmares; monsters/people with masks or costumes/unreal beings; water/swimming; loud noises/thunderstorms; animals/insects; separation from parents/being alone/sleeping away from home; fear of doctor/dentist; fear of new or unfamiliar things … but they can also be adapted to many more types of fear and be useful for other ages or life stages.
