This is important in childhood, when fears – whether of the dark, failure, or the unknown – create deep fearfulness. By teaching children to view fear as something they can reframe rather than something they must battle with, we help to shift the energy associated with it.<\/p>

One way to lessen fear’s grip is to place attention on that fear. A child who is terrified of thunderstorms could be encouraged to learn about the science behind lightning and rain, turning fear into curiosity. Help children, who are afraid of public speaking to practise in a safe space. In time they will realise their voices hold power and fear will dissolve.<\/p>
