Lesson Overview

7.76 – Helping Children Feel Safe After a Scary Experience: Safety after fear must be rebuilt through consistency, not words alone. When children experience something frightening—like an accident, storm, or sudden conflict—the body remembers before the mind understands. Begin with reassurance through calm tone and predictable routines. Avoid forcing discussions before the child feels ready. Keep environments quiet, warm, and familiar to reduce sensory overwhelm. Gentle touch and eye contact remind them that safety is real again. Over time, small exposures to normal life rebuild confidence. Parents should model steadiness instead of hypervigilance, showing that danger has passed. Healing from fear requires patience, but with trust and repetition, the world becomes safe again. Safety restored becomes the doorway to courage.
