Grown-ups are afraid for children. It's not children who are afraid.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When I was a kid, I was afraid of other kids.
Being a parent is not for the faint of heart. I may joke about knowing fear, but the fact is, the first time I ever knew real fear was the day Charlotte, my first child, was born. Suddenly there is someone in the world you care about more than anything.
One of the scary things is that, when you're a kid, you look at your dad as the man who has no fear. When you're an adult, you realize your father had fear, and that you have it, too.
I wasn't frightened of people, but I didn't have a clue about the adult world.
You're fearless when you're a kid.
Children like being a little scared, but they don't want to be disturbed.
Kids should feel afraid of 'Doctor Who.' All the adults I've talked to remember fondly being afraid when they were kids. That's part of the reason they remember it and love it. And if you're afraid in a controlled way, you sort of appreciate fear in some respect.
Kids love to be scared - there's way to do it right, and ways to do it wrong.
It's a universal truth that no parent wishes to acknowledge that the fear and phobias we are in thrall to in adulthood almost invariably connect back to childhood experiences.
As a child, I thought, 'Once I am a grown-up, there will be no more fear, no more worries,' and it turns out that's not true.
