Storybox Playlist: Stories for Being with Fear
The other night my daughter came to me and said, “Mommy, I saw something really scary on the computer and I don’t want to go to sleep.” I don’t know what it was that she saw, but even at 10 years old, things can be scary for children.
But the truth is, things can be scary at any age — whether you are 10, 40, or 100. Fear is a strong emotion fueled by our vulnerabilities — not knowing why or what something is or what the outcome may be. Though fear is very powerful, we don’t have to let it overpower us. The stories in this playlist are all about being with fear, knowing where it comes from, and steps for managing it in a healthy, healing way.
We hope these stories help anyone in your family who is feeling fear right now.
