We are so crazy excited about our brand new major game-changer course that we decided to give you a sneak peek at one of the lessons. It comes with a truly helpful worksheet that teaches you how to write a children’s picture book that deals with fear in some capacity or another but we are saving that to entice you to take the course. And need I say that it’s super fun? This 6 week Instant Access take at your leisure course is a game changer because The #1 Thing Guaranteed to Get Kids Interested in Reading Is Humor And That’s Exactly What We Teach You How To Do. Get Funny, Be Funny, and Infuse Humor Into Serious Stories! So without further ado, let's start with a joke followed by your free lesson. Fun With Fear There are so many places that humor shows up in kid’s books. Fun with Fear is one of them. As kids grow and learn they will inevitably face fears along the way. Books allow children to face these fears, become brave and overcome obstacles with the help of humor. Learning how others overcome fear, which is usually the case with books for young readers, can also involve a little superiority theory with feelings like, “Well I wouldn’t be scared of that!” or those perverse feelings of schadenfreude, taking pleasure in someone’s else’s misfortune. But here’s the rub. Playing with fear in kid’s books has to be done in a way that doesn’t traumatize the kid, and real fear versus imaginary or un-necessary fears need to be differentiated, because fear of falling off a building or fear of stranger danger have important functions that mustn't be lightly dismissed. However, if it’s imaginary or unreasonable fears we're dealing with, all bets are off. But before we look at some fun books that deal with fear let’s take a quick look at:
Now as I mentioned this lesson comes with two terrific exercises to get you writing really funny stories that deal with fears, along with 23 other lessons and over 35 worksheets and handouts including YOUR OWN FAB FUN WITH FEAR WORKSHEET WHERE WE ALSO WALK YOU THROUGH WRITING YOUR OWN SCAREY STORY STEP BY STEP!!!
