Content Consideration
Scaredness is an emotional responses that something or someone has happened in children’s life, causing them to feel an auditory illusion, false hearing, restlessness, shivering, or even delusion.
Due to the fact that some children are too shy to express themselves effectively, it is difficult to figure out the main causes of their fear. In the worst case, it would be because of school bullying.
It is encouraged to establish a friendly relationship between parents and their children. Children are also encouraged to be brave and express their feelings when they are adventurous or have any difficulties, causing them to feel scared.
Mostly importantly, children can learn what they can do to undermine feelings of fear and feel happy, such as take a deep breath, look for something that they are interested in, or talk to parents or teachers.
Takeaway
It is important for parents to understand that negative sentiment, thinking, and behavior affect children’s personal development. Children are encouraged to be optimistic. Nurturing children to feel loved, happy, calm, and surprised, and to be kind, playful, brave, curious, and creative in their whole life.
The same as the Poppy O’ Neill children’s social learning series, each book of Paula’s When I Am introduces a single behavior that guides parents and teens to have a basic understanding of what is important for them in their life development.
Paula’s When I Am series does not include any activities. Instead, by using simple language with lots of anime, the books are more appealing to teen’s interests and enable them to easily understand the meaning in different cognitive behaviors.
