Scary Cats In Scary Hats: How To Tame Your Toddler’s Fears

Courage is fear holding on a minute longer. – George S. Patton This blog is dedicated to GraceLikeRain, mother of four, who recently wrote in about her childrens fears.

It didnt matter what kind of hat – any time I tried to put one on him, it was as if a monster were about to sit on Alessios head. That mysterious Cat and his striped top-hat had also triggered other anxieties in my toddler: bicycles and umbrellas, to name a few. Yet The Cat in the Hat is still one of Alessios favorite books. Fear. We all have it. It’s a fact of human nature. A survival tool meant for our own good. Fight or flight. Knowing when to stand strong and when to run.
