Fear in education is often used. A scary scenario is painted in front of the children's eyes to dissuade them from doing something or to make something unattractive. Climbing a tree, for example. Often the argument is that there is a high level of danger. In principle, this is not a lie. But fear in this form is a kind of blackmail. And often the fear is greater in the people in authority than in the children who are affected. Fear can also trigger feelings of guilt. Either way, it's true: Fear is not a good advisor. Of course, fear can also have a protective effect. But then it is rather a fear in the sense of respect and restraint in assessing one's own possibilities. Such fear can be helpful, preserving. But by its very nature, it has the property that it nevertheless allows people to make mature decisions. Perhaps there are areas where it is time to part with the false fear and rather give more room to confidence.
I wish you an extraordinary day!
