Freddie, the old web you are trapped in is simply your fears. We all have fears, so you being and feeling stuck is completely normal. Fears are actually a gift in disguise. We tend to think of them as scary things we do not wish to see, or deal with, but fears are really an opportunity to become free. You see, when you face your fears they cease to exist and that sets you free.
From Freeing Freddie the Dream Weaver by Brent Feinberg
This was the theme for this week’s classes – freedom from our web of fears. The children each drew a picture of a spider in a web and labeled some of their fears. We discussed how sometimes these fears can leave us feeling stuck or trapped. We also spoke about how good it feels when we are able to face our fears; how much lighter and freer we feel!
This class was part of the series we are working through on Living with a Growth Mindset.
