Hi Moms! It has been a crazy time. My son has been completely fearful and afraid of just about anything. He will not want to go to the bathroom alone; he will not want to sleep in his own bedroom; he will not want to sleep without a night light. Sounds normal for a 4-year-old, right? Well, I'm not so sure I'm ok with that rationale.
My son finds himself fearful of bugs that fly in the air, afraid of being alone and other things that are in his life. And I am not accepting that. I feel like if I play into this fear thing, he will be afraid of everything. He has a fear of new people and environments. He is afraid to be on stage and in the spotlight. Now I am not saying that he needs to be a movie star but his reason "being scared" is not an option.
So what have I been doing? Speaking to him from our belief system: God has not given us fear; God is with us; and other truths we believe. I have also told him that he is bigger than a bug, bigger than the dark.
Is it working? Umm... Kind of. It's a daily process but trust, I'm not giving this one up.
Blessings
