How To Support Children With Facing Their Fears By Jessica Bowers; Derbyshire parent and author of Fantastic Fin Faces His Fears Some common fears in children include fear of the dark, fear of being alone and fear of jabs (Child Mind Institute). Supporting children with building their courage to face such challenges will develop their emotional resilience and empower them as they grow. Stories are a perfect way of introducing new concepts and addressing difficult subjects with children. My debut children’s picture book called ‘Fantastic Fin Faces his Fears’ inspires younger children to build their courage and face their fears.

• Teach children about the nature of thoughts, not all of our thoughts are true. If they are thinking that they can not do something, then it is worth reality checking it with them. • Lead by example; share your fears and demonstrate your courage. Your kids will be inspired! There are some free activities and resources available from my website, designed to support children with building their courage and developing their emotional literacy around fears.

Here are some strategies to support children with facing their fears: • Normalise... shame is a seed that grows when children think that what they are feeling is wrong. It is vital that we normalise any feelings they have. • Aim to build courage rather than trying to ‘get rid of’ their fears. • Setting smaller targets might be more manageable. • Kids love role play; it is a creative way to build courage and empower children. • Reassure children if they fail; failures are part of success. Gently encourage them to try again once they have recovered. E: derby@lotsfortots.co.uk

Business Opportunity The Lots for Tots Franchise Business including the Derby Franchise is for sale Are you a parent with young children? Would you like to work your own hours, flexibly around your family? Would you like to combine creativity with earning money? Has Lots for Tots helped you and you’d like to share it with other parents? Then being the new owner of Lots for Tots is for you! Established in 2008, the magazine for parents with children under 5 developed into a franchise in 2012. The business has the potential to establish magazines across the UK. The new owner will need to have a passion for sharing information - getting the magazine out to new parents, getting their feedback, helping them to connect to others in their communities. You will get a great deal of satisfaction from it. You’ll find yourself gaining skills in design, editing, marketing, sales, communications etc. The business runs in quarterly cycles which allows you a quieter period and a busy period leading up to publication. It is based around school/ nursery holidays so fits around your family. Your income comes from the advertising and there is an established 34

database of customers but it is up to you to build relationships with those contacts and new businesses. The sale includes the complete website, social media pages, franchise manual, templates, all legal docs inc. GDPR and more. If you would like further information, please get in touch. You will need to sign a Non Disclosure Agreement so we can discuss in full detail. You will also receive a thorough hand over and ongoing support during transition. We will always be happy to offer past history information or advice if required at any time. This is a genuine opportunity, we want the best for the new owner; someone who will continue to provide useful information to families with young children and look after the Lots for Tots brand. The Derby Magazine is still very strong and Laura, the Editor of Lots for Tots Derby, will continue to operate it until a new owner / editor is in place.

Welcome to

Interactive role play centres based in South Derbyshire Titchy Town and Hero Town are both indoor play villages designed especially for little ones up to 8 years of age. Children can freely explore the many different play zones in both villages. The villages are designed to allow children’s imagination to run wild whilst they role play in a safe environment. Grown-ups can participate in their child’s play, or just sit back and watch them learn whilst enjoying a mug of freshly brewed tea or coffee and an amazing homemade cake from our little coffee shop.

Where are we? Titchy Town is based on the site of Scallywags Private Day Nursey in Chellaston (Rowallan Way, DE73 5WX). Hero Town is based on the site of Scallywags Private Day Nursery in Melbourne (Castle Lane, DE73 8JB). Please use Scallywags car park at both sites. You will find signage in both car parks on how to access the centres.

How it works? Both role play centres work on a pre-book via our website and pay on arrival basis with sessions lasting 90 minutes. On your first entry you will be issued a loyalty card and for every nine sessions you attend you will receive your 10th entry free of charge! Loyalty cards can be used across both sites. Payment is cash only.
