Fostering Courage in Your Preschool Child
Courage may sound like a big feat for a small child. But courage, or the ability to overcome fear and doubt to learn and accomplish goals, is an essential piece of character development, and one that’s never to early to learn.
“Courage is not the absence of fear. It is the strength to be who and what you are—despite the fear,” says Dr. Janette Marie Freeman, host of the radio show Empowered Living. It is a willingness to try new things, to take chances, to move out of your comfort zone. Parents want their children to be brave but, at the same time, not to be foolhardy. So how can you help your preschooler develop courage without taking dangerous risks?
Facing fear takes a lot of courage, but when one does it, fears lose their power. The same thing happens to children. So if you want your preschooler to develop courage, help her learn to face the things she fears most.
