| Kid Definition: |
I will have courage even when I'm afraid. |
| Concept: |
| Who doesn't remember being afraid of the dark? We
all know that childhood fears are a normal part of
development, but what's important for us as parents
and teachers is to help children build strategies for
coping with their fears. Because the minds of children
often exaggerate perceived threats, even immobilizing
them in some instances, learning to face fears is
critical in a child's development. Protecting and
shielding children from child-sized fears can be a
disservice, as it fails to develop and encourage coping
skills in this area. |
