🦉The Brainy BitWeek 40 • Spooky Season
When Kids Get Scared Easily
Saturday, October 3, 2026

Here's a little trick from child development:
Some kids love spooky. Others are terrified. Both responses are normal.
For sensitive kids:
- Skip scary decorations
- Choose "cute Halloween" over frightening
- Let them opt out of scary experiences
- Validate their fears
Halloween should be fun, not traumatic.
