I’m scared!

Newborn to Teen and Everything in Between

In the week leading of Halloween you might find that your little ones are feeling more scared than usual. But regardless of this, children can be scared of lots of things and this is the subject of this episode!

We chatted about:

  • Halloween and how we never really ‘did’ Halloween when we were little and how much it has ramped up in recent years. 
  • What we were scared of when we were little (well mainly Becks!). 
  • How every child is individual in terms of what they are / aren’t scared of – some children will LOVE being scared by example.  
  • How to respond / react to a little one who is scared of something, the kind of things children can be scared of and why it might be. 
  • Being scared of dying. 
  • How feeling fear is a natural emotion and how we need it. 
  • How to help children regulate when they are feeling scared.  
  • Some techniques to help children when they feel scared.  
  • Halloween and being scared!
