EEK! I'm Afraid of Ants in Word

By Dr Fraser Vaselakos

EEK! I Am Afraid of Ants! developed directly from interactions with my own grandchildren playing outside. Using humor, this book guides a child through the early stages of interactive logical exploration of a common childhood fear of ants. A fear that could limit a child's sense of adventure and confidence in exploring new opportunities. A fear that may grow into a phobia and mistreatment of many other insects and creatures that we share on this earth. While Nana makes absurd statements, the children reply with laughter and logic, building cognitive reasoning skills. The process culminates in the children mastering their fear through logical reasoning and embracing the idea of protecting the ants and not harming them or being afraid of them. I know this process works because it was "tested" over many years with the children I love the most.
