I’ve been trying to explain the concept of fear vs bravery to my 5 year old. I’ve been telling him everyone gets scared…it’s okay to be scared, but you’ve gotta be brave. He’s going to kindergarten this year and he’s scared of getting his shots and he’s scared of going to a new school. We’re going to Florida in May and he’s scared of the airplane and the ocean. I’ve been telling him it’s okay to be scared, but you’ve gotta be brave because new things are always scary. Like with kindergarten and shots it’s new and it’s scary but it’s going to happen because it’s good for you. With the airplane and Florida and the ocean it’s okay to be scared but you’ve gotta be brave because it’s going to be so much fun once you get past that fear. This goes for everyone; it’s okay to be scared, but you’ve gotta be brave. You can’t let fear hold you back from what’s good for you, or new and exciting experiences. I want to tell him that mommy gets scared all the time, but she’s brave and does those things that scare her. I’m scared to have him go to kindergarten, I hope he has fun and learns so much and that all the kids are nice from day one. I’m terrified raising all these tiny humans and I hope I’m doing everything right that I can. I’m scared to go back to work and leave the littlest ones in someone else’s care. I’m scared about not being able to find a job. I’m scared to work with new people and do something new. I’m scared of missing out on any more precious time with all our tiny humans. I’m scared of what the future holds. I’m scared of going for our dreams. Life is scary, because nothing is certain and I’m scared all the time, but I get up and do what I have to and make choices that I think are the best for my family and me and I’m scared I’m going to make the wrong choices. I want to tell him all this, but I know it won’t make a lick of sense to him right now. Just know, son, mommy is scared all the time, but I’m brave because I love you all so much and you deserve the best I can offer you. So, no matter how scared I get I’m going to keep going, for you.
It’s okay to be scared..
I’m Working on It

Your child will learn from you, either by the vibes you project or the actions you do. So, a brave mum has brave child, but little steps for little children. So well done, keep safe and keep brave.

As a formerly timid child and inwardly skittish adult…I get it about scared…so i let the kids i work with be scared and i tell them if I was scared of the same thing when i was a kid. I find it interesting that you, as a mother, and me, as a child care director have similar reflections. Lol. Some of what i write could have tips or tricks for your kids. Possibly lol
