About this episode
It's October, which means…. it's Halloween time! Whether it's witches, webs, thunder, or the dark, being afraid of something as a child is incredibly common. In this episode, Rachel and Dr. Navsaria talk about common childhood fears, the difference between fears and phobias, and, of course, how early childhood educators can help kids cope with fear.
