What Do I Actually Want My Kids to Be Afraid Of?

Today, we've got a really thought-provoking interview by Jessica G. Hartshorn. She talked to author and podcast host Farnoosh Torabi about a tough topic: fear.

"She remembers being told, 'Don't talk to strangers!' which led to her revolting against a substitute teacher who stepped into her classroom. Big, generalized fears, she realized over time, were more crippling than healthy," writes Hartshorn. "Now the mother of kids ages 9 and 6, Torabi says that while on a tour for her latest book, A Healthy State of Panic, the question that keeps coming up is what we should teach our kids to be afraid of." It's such a good question, one that they explore together in the piece.

Well, Amber Guetebier has got your back: "Strolling the streets with hot chocolate in hand, watching shoppers rush home with their treasures while your kids take in the sparkling lights... it sounds like a Christmas song or, more accurately, the backdrop to a Christmas film.
