The One Thing Fear Does to Kids (& How to Reverse It)

anxious big emotions Aug 26, 2025

Hey there friends,

 

Not long ago, a parent asked me about their child who was suddenly struggling with worry and even afraid to go into another room alone.  After we spoke, I thought about how our conversation would be a good starting point for a YouTube video.

 

I was about to hit record on a video to answer that question… when one of my own kids came downstairs two hours after bedtime and whispered, “Daddy, can you come snuggle with me? I’m scared.”

 

Suddenly, I wasn’t just talking about fear. I was living it. 

 

 

And watch through to the end of the video because I have a special message about the real power that we have when we're following Jesus.  You'll be so glad that you did.

 

All my best,

B.J.
