I’m scared!

In the week leading of Halloween you might find that your little ones are feeling more scared than usual. But regardless of this, children can be scared of lots of things and this is the subject of this episode!

We chatted about:

  • Halloween and how we never really ‘did’ Halloween when we were little and how much it has ramped up in recent years. 
  • What we were scared of when we were little (well mainly Becks!). 
  • How every child is individual in terms of what they are / aren’t scared of – some children will LOVE being scared by example.  
  • How to respond / react to a little one who is scared of something, the kind of things children can be scared of and why it might be. 
  • Being scared of dying. 
  • How feeling fear is a natural emotion and how we need it. 
  • How to help children regulate when they are feeling scared.  
  • Some techniques to help children when they feel scared.  
  • Halloween and being scared!

Newborn to Teen and Everything Inbetween - it does exactly what it says on the tin! Join childcare experts Becks and Claire for practical advice about how to communicate with children, at all ages.
There can be a lot of pressure to 'get it right' when it comes to children, which can be quite daunting! Whether you’re a parent, a teacher, TA or childcare worker, or just looking to gain a better understanding of the world through a child’s eyes, Becks and Claire have 25 years of childcare experience to share with you. Listen for reassurance and support to help you navigate tricky conversations, challenging behaviour, complex emotions, and the general day to day pressures of raising and working with children.
This is a judgement-free zone - you won't find a one-size-fits-all rule book here!

Join Becks and Claire for accessible, light-hearted and well researched advice and guidance on the various ways we can tackle the ups and downs of life with children (they've got a great sense of humour too, so if you love a laugh you're in great company!)
