Spiders, Sharks, Water, Pandemic... Do We Instill Fear In Our Kids?

Are our kids born with their biggest fears, or is it us, as parents, that cause them... Today we discuss fears & phobias and where they come from, and more importantly, whether we are to blame! Water, spiders, sharks, the pandemic... there's plenty to be worried about, including how much of that fear is our fault! Please weigh in with your thoughts on this topic!
