Huge Tiger: A Nigerian Tiger Tale to Help Children Conquer Their Fear

Fear is an unpleasant emotion induced by the awareness of the danger that affects the mind's functionality and causes a change in behaviour. Both young and adults are faced with terrifying events, resulting in behavioural change. However, when fear becomes a daily occurrence it slows or completely stops body functions needed for survival, and alters memory, which makes the whole world frightening, resulting in long-term consequences such as fatigue and clinical depression. That's not the desire of any parent or parent-to-be for their wards. I have had my share of life experiences that brought fear, but I conquered it. Therefore there is a need for collective efforts to help protect and rescue our kids from the psychological effects of Covid 19, and any other fear they might face. More so, to let them know that if their fear is bigger than them, it's important to seek help.

I am passing this baton of goodness to these kids and teaching them how to conquer their fear.
