Hello Everyone! Yesterday my antenna went off as a little child was talking. He was talking about what he is afraid of. I realize that the fear he mentioned was also a fear that his Mom had experienced in her own life. This prompt me to thinking about the Fears we have as parents and how they sometimes create fears for our children. I am very cautious around water. When my son was younger, I would keeping saying to my son, ‘careful’, “Don’t go in the deep end’. My son on the other hand loved the water, and he love snakes. Snakes is another one of my fears. Every summer my son went to summer camp and they went to the pool every day. At that moment I realize how important it was for him to learn about water safety and how to swim. Despite how I felt about water, it was important for my son so he can be independent and enjoy his camp experience. If I would of kept voicing my discomfort to my son, he might have become apprehensive about learning to swim. Till this day I try to remain calm around my children about the things I would normally freak out about. Expressing our dislikes and what we are uncomfortable with as parents is okay; but we should also try not to give too much attention to our fears that our strengths get overshadowed by the fear. We can also talk about how we can face our fears, which will help build our children’s courage in facing their own fears. What fears are you facing? Talking about them will help in overcoming, so comment and share below. Don’t forget to subscribe. Thanks:)
