FEAR:
Children and adults experience the world differently. It is common for children to be afraid of things that don’t make sense to their parents. It is good for children to have a healthy sense of caution, but when a child has too much fear it can interfere with healthy development. When you teach your child to recognize and label fear, it helps them to better manage their emotions and handle life’s challenges. #fitandhealthykids #NebExt
