The worst thing a parent or guardian can do to a child is LIE with the mindset that there “aren’t any monsters under the bed...” news flash there are! Maybe not in that particular moment (or under your bed) but life will encounter many throughout your life. It’s important to know as a young person that yes they exist...however that is nothing to be afraid of. Show resiliency to overcome your fear. And remember...not everyone deserves a trophy. Monsters come in all sizes and shapes. Jobs and careers. Schools and sports games. Events and meetings. Learn to be aware of them and push through any fear of not overcoming them.
