Fear or Excitement? We all feel nervous occasionally, we all feel anxious occasionally - we need to feel these feelings - they are there to protect us - to alert us to potential threats and help us get out of danger if we need to. But what we can do is say, "Am I actually in danger... or am I just a little bit scared?" You see fear protects us from danger, so we do need it to survive - but did you know that anxiety has the same physiological symptoms as excitement? So what your child interprets as fear - may actually be excitement! Like before they step on stage, or enter the birthday party. In this podcast episode, we talk about how to help our children identify their feelings as excitement instead of fear and look forward to watching their outlook on life improve exponentially.
