Kids: For When We Feel Scared (Courage In Fear) (Extended)

This is for kids who could benefit from some validation about their fears, as well as some tips on how to manage these emotions in a friendly way. Sometimes life is hard because we worry about things. Sometimes we can have feelings that we don’t want. Sometimes we can feel scared.

This is both a gentle talk with a meditative feel to it. It gives us a strategy of working with uncomfortable emotions. We can do this through breathing. But that's not all. We can do this through imagining and pretending, treating our feelings like they are a creature needing support. We also acknowledge the times there have been triumphs as well, so as to draw on strengths that they can access within them.
