Part 1

The Fear Fight

1) Just for Fun: When you were a kid, what frightened you the most?

2) Why are children afraid of the dark? (Because of shadows; because they can’t see their parents anymore; because everything takes on a different look when the lights are out.)

3) What creates fear in people’s lives? (Bad experiences; they are taught to be afraid of things by parents or friends; pressure to succeed.)

4) What are some of your greatest fears? (Getting fired; death; losing my family; getting cancer; nuclear attack.)

5) How have you dealt with your fears in the past? (I work extra hours and stay busy to try to cover them up; I drink; I chew my fingernails; I talk about them.)

6) How can fear be negative to us? (Can lead to bad habits that try to mask our feelings; can make it so we aren’t really living life; can control us and make us nervous, anxious people.)

7) How can fear be positive for us? (Can motivate us to do well; help us to deal with hard things in life; protect us from danger.)
