    Letter 6

    Dear Frightened Fargo

    Thanks for raising such pertinent issues and am glad that you chose to ask. True to the fact, I’d
    like you to understand that in being a kid, fear is a phenomenon that cannot be avoided. To every
    single parent, when this fear gets skewed up, it becomes our responsibility of helping soothe to
    calm them down. However, making the kid learn on every single bit of calming him or herself
    down without a parent’s intervention, is the best thing ever (Simpson, 2001). This will go a long
    way in helping the child become independent and gain self-confidence so as to manage self-
    control and reduce freight as he grows. In order to do this, I will advise that you do what I have
    advised through: Self-regulation, do not fear fears, help the child learn to say what frightens him
    or her, make a plan, offer encouragement and be patient. Remember that not all fears are fears
    and not all fears are treated the same, and in times when you feel that the fears of your kid might
    seem to be something serious, then you need to consult a medical specialist for a medical
    advisory opinion. Thanks.

    I just hope this helps

    Yours,

    Aby
