【推荐2】Sometimes the worst thing about feeling scared is that you don't know what to do. Here are the top 3 ways that kids who answered our survey try to help themselves feel better:

1.Do something, like playing outside, listening to music, or watching TV.

2.Talk to a parent.

If you get scared at night, Monique, 10, suggests listening to the radio when you're falling asleep. Naruto, also 10, suggests writing or drawing what you're scared of and then ripping it into pieces. Twelve-year-old Jessica finds that it helps to take a deep breath(呼吸) when you're scared. Amanda, 11, thinks kids should talk with a parent or a teacher. "They will tell you a way to get it over.” she said. Bethany, 12, wants kids to hang tough, so they'll have the last word “Try, try again and never give up.”
