Parenting & Children Notes.

Sometimes life seems very hard to deal with.
Such as times when we see some gory object like a dead animal that is killed in a horrible way. The left over animal can cause children to have nightmares and suffer bad feelings and worries about life. These children may ev en feel fear simply by being alive, this feeling is due to the child wondering who could cause such horror on that animal, and who or what will be killed like that in the future. Thoughts like this can be frightening to a child.

The parent can talk to the child to reassure the child that life is a good thing and that sometimes the odd bad thing happens. Of course parents that allow their children to watch all sorts of death and destruction on television programs (such as the news or violent programs) and violent movies can expect this kind of fear from their children. A child’s mind can only handle so much before that child’s mind starts to react to all that negative imaging.

Life is hard enough with what we tend to see as life unfolds, to add to the negative side of life with negative Imaging (horror movies etc) is just adding unnecessary anxieties and fears to the child’s natural development causing issues that will be shown as an adult.

All the best from
