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

UNDERSTANDING:
Parents may become frustrated, especially when it seems like it should be easy for our child to figure out on her own. The more familiar you are with how your child reacts to everyday situations, the easier it is for you to teach him appropriate ways to deal with emotional challenges. As parents, it can be fun and rewarding to figure out what our child is thinking and why. Then we can guide our children through their challenging behavior. #Fitandhealthykids #NebExt
