This week’s question comes from Eva Fannon, who asks…
“What are your kids afraid of and how do you comfort them?”
Here are some things that are World Moms Blog writers do…
Karyn Van Der Zwet of New Zealand writes:
“The Hare, who is nine, is afraid of the dark. The Owl was afraid of e-v-e-r-y-t-h-i-n-g and now is just sometimes cautious. The Butterfly hates the vacuum cleaner with a vengeance. We bed-share (five in two queen sized beds) and use something called Boring Cuddles (Diane Levy, Kiwi family therapist)…where you hold your child (at their request) but never ever say anything or even make any noise. You can rock, rub or pat. They are fantastic. Can’t recommend them enough.” (more…)

This week’s question comes from Karyn Van Der Zwet, who asks…
“Name a writer you would recommend and why.”
Here are some of our World Moms’ suggestions…
Veronica Samuels of New Jersey, USA writes:
“Michael Pollan is my writer choice for adults. His books about food have changed my life. I also am a fan of books about language and parenting by Kathryn Hirsch-Pasek. I’m a nonfiction kind of girl. I crave facts!
And for kids, I like Julia Donaldson, especially The Snail and the Whale and The Gruffalo. My oldest daughter loves both!” (more…)
