CONSCIOUS PARENTING
Be creative. Show a picture or image that gives the
feeling of fear as well as freedom from fear such
as the picture shown with my wings spread. Children relate to images. Let child feel a soft or peaceful sound with music or as shown in picture with a
singing bowl. Touching it gives a soothing feeling
into the hand that is opposite the feeling of fear.
Explore! Drum the feeling of fear to release it. Blow
it out.
Tap on body part that holds the fear tension. March
pretending to feel afraid then switch and march
feeling in control of fear and notice the differences.
If there is a fire pit/bonfire at a gathering, write or
draw fears on a paper and throw them into the fire,
watching them disappear and transform. There
are many ways to empower children on the topic
of fear.
Ask them for ideas and see what unfolds.

Mestrovich for more ideas.)
