I'm not scared

■ “What are you most afraid of in the world?”
'Fear', an emotion that is difficult for children to handle
Let's find out together how to face fear and overcome it with courage.

No matter how brave a child is, there will be something in the world that he or she is afraid of. Every child is afraid of something. However, 'fear' is an emotion that is difficult for children to deal with. Sometimes, it feels terrible to show others that they are afraid. Should we just hold on to this complicated and difficult emotion? Fortunately, 'I'm (Not) Scared' teaches children a smart way to face fear and overcome it with courage. And it's a very easy way. The two furry friends overcome their fear with courage, even though they are trembling with fear. How is that possible? Because the two friends are together. Fear can feel less scary when shared with a friend. It is difficult to face alone, but if you are 'together' with someone, you gain the courage to face it. If there is something that you are scared of, face it with a friend. Talk about it together. Maybe you will find 'fun' that you could not see while being caught up in the emotion of fear. The moment you find 'fun', scary things are no longer just scary, right? Even in the last scene of "I'm (not) scared", the two friends shout "Wow! It's scary", but they look excited and having fun. Watching these two, you too will gain the courage to face your fears.
