The First Time My Child Said, “I’m Scared”
It was bedtime. Lights low. My child clung to me eyes wide, body tense. I asked gently, “What’s wrong?”
Silence.
That night, we read Facing My Fears. A story about fear, told simply and kindly. When we reached the page with the child hiding under the blanket, my little one whispered:
“Like me. I feel scared too.”
It was the first time my child could name fear.
Not cry it. Not show it. Say it.
That moment reminded me why I write:
Books don’t just entertain. They unlock words for feelings too big to hold alone.
If you have a little one who struggles to say what’s inside… maybe this book can help them, too.
