How can I talk to my child about their fears?

It's important to create a safe space for your child. Start by asking them what they're afraid of.

My child is afraid of the dark. How should I approach this?

You can reassure them that it's okay to be scared. Try using a night light and talk about what makes the dark scary.

Should I share my own fears with them?

Sharing your fears can help normalize their feelings, but be mindful not to overwhelm them with adult fears.

What if they don't want to talk about it?

That's okay! Let them know you're there when they're ready to talk, and encourage them to express themselves in other ways.
