I was a fearful child who grew into a fearful adult. I was afraid (and still am) of a great many things, but one of my top fears was the fear of failure. As I have learned to tame that fear I have realised how critical it is for us as parents to help our kids crush their fears while they are still at the “gnawing gently at the soul” phase, as opposed to the “savagely shredding the soul to pieces and then burning the bits” stage.
