Healing Children’s Fears
$9.99
A warm, practical guide to supporting your child through fear and strengthening their sense of safety through connection.
Description
Your child is afraid. And you’ve been right there with them, checking under the bed, staying a little longer, offering every reassurance you know how to give. You’re doing what love looks like.
And yet the fear keeps coming back.
That’s not a failure on your part. And this booklet presents another way of being with your child in those frightened moments that goes deeper than reassurance, and helps them work all the way through it.
Healing Children’s Fears by Patty Wipfler is a warm, practical guide to understanding what’s really happening when your child is gripped by fear and how your calm, warm presence can become the most powerful thing that helps them through it.
Inside, you’ll find:
- Why your child’s trembling, crying, and clinging is actually the healing process at work — and how to support it rather than interrupt it
- What to do when fear shows up as aggression, avoidance, or bedtime battles — because fear rarely announces itself directly
- How laughter and play can help children work through fears that feel too big to face head-on
- How to respond to night fears and nightmares — and what your presence makes possible in those moments
- How to stay warm and steady when your child is pushing you away — because that’s exactly when they need you most
This isn’t about managing behavior or following a perfect script. It’s about understanding what your child is carrying and discovering that you already have what it takes to help them work through it.
Your child doesn’t need a world without scary things. They need to know that with you, they can face what frightens them and come through it.
Part of the Hand in Hand “Listening to Children” seven-booklet series.
