description: The world is very big to little children and full of situations that cause feelings that are hard to handle, like doubt, worry, and fear.  Telling children repeatedly that they will be okay isn't good enough because it doesn't address the underlying issue, which is the big negative feelings that are happening.  Share these funny pictures with your children while reinforcing the idea that they are not helpless and that there are things children can do for themselves to feel better about their situations.  Worried about mom and dad going out for the night? What can you do to feel better? Scared of a thunderstorm? What can you do to feel safe?  Learn the Mindful Mantra 'I will be okay' along with your children and practice it until it is an automatic thought. Then sit back, and prepare for your child to reassure you that they will be okay!
