Overcoming fear: How we can help our preschoolers be brave
There are two types of children in this world: the first are those who leap off sofas first and consider the consequences of their actions second. Will it hurt? Well, we’ll just figure it out AFTER we land head-first on the cat, and let mum or dad handle the nosebleed that follows. YOLO, right?
