When you are scared to do something or you have a fear that you just can't get over, sometimes all you need is someone by your side to help you face it head on. After the initial shock, you might just realize that your fear was actually no big deal… you may even decide that you enjoy doing something you were initially scared of.
The first step to facing your fear is to really identify what it is that you are afraid of. Once you have done that, you can figure out what your fears say about your personality here. After you have learned a little more about yourself, it is time to decide if you plan to face it on your own, or if you need a little help from a friend.
The person you choose to have by your side when you face your fear can make all the difference in the world. You need someone you trust, feel safe with, and someone who will continue to encourage you until you are no longer scared.
For the 6-year-old boy in this video, that person was his dad.
With him by his side, this kid is ready to take on anything — and in the clip below, the pair tackles his fear of riding one of the big, twisty, turny rides that can be scary just to look at.
Although he doesn't quite seem to enjoy the ride when it first begins, by the end of the video he is so excited and proud of himself that we wouldn't be surprised if he got off the ride and went right back to the line to do it all over again!
