I always tell my children, 'You have to face your fear. If not, it's like running from a dog that will bite you in the back.'
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Fear is an underrated emotion. And that's why I think it's very dangerous to try and cosset children from it. A healthy scare is as good as as a healthy laugh. In fact, they're two sides of the same coin. There is a desire to shield from the knocks and bumps of reality.
When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.
My motto is: feel the fear and do it anyway.
If something scares me, then I have to do it. My biggest fear in life is fear.
I think a lot of times you have to face your fears. I think everybody has to face their fears.
I tend to think you're fearless when you recognize why you should be scared of things, but do them anyway.
Kids love to be scared; we all do. But there's a difference between leaving them hanging out there, with their fears, and then bringing them safely home. Kids love it when someone like them stands up against real evil, something really horrendous and frightening, and win.
My biggest fear is mindlessly and stupidly repeating myself.
You're fearless when you're a kid.
Kids love to be scared - there's way to do it right, and ways to do it wrong.
