An excellent example of open communication needed to dispel fears. Foolish Rabbit's Big Mistake by Ed Young, Putnam Publishing. This one is suitable to a variety of ages.
Children can learn to deal with fears successfully.
Others are just false evidence appearing real. You can guide your children to realize the difference between the two and help them master their fears. The process is very important and requires patience, gentleness and open communication. Sharon D. Anderson, Director, Fargo, North Dakota.
