 Fears are a common part of childhood. Some ways we can help children manage fears are by talking about the fear with our children, setting a good example of us facing our fears, teaching our children breathing or relaxation techniques to cope with their fear. Encourage your child to face their fear gradually by doing small things to help them take small steps facing their fears. It can also help to get other children of similar ages to help your child. The Triple P Positive Parenting Program can take your parenting skills to the next level.
