How To Deal With Anxiety - A Child's Perspective

3/17/2016

Filmmaker and radio producer Bianca Giaever sought out to make a film on ‪anxiety‬ from a child's point of view. In her interviews with these young people, Giaever asked each of them to tell a story that they could make into a movie. What resulted, was a delightful and heartwrenchingly cute short film inspired by one of the 6 year old girls Giaever spoke with, who at the end of the film demonstrates some pretty powerful insight and advice for us all in how to deal with negative feelings like anxiety and disappointment. A must watch!

"I was curious to see if a six year old could relate to emotions like anxiety at such a young age. I didn't know that this advice would necessarily come from Asa — I interviewed a few different six year olds for this project by offering free babysitting or just asking. I asked some parents and figured that six years old is the perfect age, when kids can coherently tell a story but aren't self conscious or inhibiting themselves at all yet."

This is one of the greatest videos I've watched this year. It's important to remember that when we become "adults", we lose a lot of the honesty and creativity he expressed, and our inhibitions prevent us from seeing the world with innocence. Sometimes putting our feelings into simple words can make it more effective; therefore, I will never forget "scared is scared of things we like".
