I disagree with those who have called this a stupid question. I look back on my childhood now and wish that I had been taught how to feel more brave, strong hearted, and fearless. I'd say I have aquired a better understanding of these things, however, only after some very unfortunate and sad events in my young life. In other words, from the school of hard knocks. I in no way promote purposely putting pressure on any young child. They will no doubt have many of their own challenges and obstacles in life to face. Instead, I look back and just wish that someone would have told me the truth about all things, all the time. Not sugar coated things "for the protection of my innocence". Now I would really like to note: there is a BIG difference between being truthful and being cruel. There are many wrong ways to deliver the truth to a child, but if done correctly, gently, and with tact , I believe they could greatly benefit from it. I remember a quote, "things are not to be feared, only understood". I'm not religious but I still have always loved the phrase "the truth shall set you free" and I believe that. Many people underestimate children, I believe they deserve truth. However, what is scary will not just go away because we are more aware though. Truth and knowledge, when sincerely delivered, are the TOOLS needed for bravery and fearlessnes. It is easier to stand and fight when you know what it is you are fighting. (And for everyone reading this > I'm not necessarily talking about "fighting" in the physical sense there) This is easier said than done, but teach your children to understand and constantly search for the truth for themselves as they grow up.

what kind of fears ur talking about. most fears r created b4 5yrs of age and for later age if u can talk positively and make it clear to ur kids what r the reasons behind that special event / phenomena / thing etc. then possiblity is they wont have any fear for that particular thing.
Dont use threat ,physical abuse or fear to controll his behaviour to jst let him so what u want him / her to do.
Let him learn " Martial Arts" they will make him physically and mentally strong.
Make him more observant and curious as well as communicative.
All the above mentioned ideas will definitely work.
but to make kids fearless is an ongoing process lasts till they turn on mature.
thanx

Fearless how? Like there is no boogeyman or kick that bully in the stomach next time he calls you 4-eyes? Either way, kids are kids..I agree with the 1st post, they're not supposed to be thaaaaat tough.

hi..... positive talking is the way to go... everyday give positive comments n compliments. Once the mind set which he/she has now as changed the child with become as fearless as he/she can be... It's also good if you can make the child join an activity to build his confident. My mum made my brother join tek-wan dou (martial art). he change to a brave n daring young boy.He took command of his life.. still does!
All the best.. u r a good influence too!!!

Ten-year-old kids are not supposed to need to feel brave and fearless; they are KIDS, not gladiators. How about trying to be a parent instead?

Are you f'ing sick? They're kids for heavens sake, not training for the army or terrosist activity. Do you have some problem with letting kids just be kids and becoming stong, brave, in their own due time? Or are you gonna lose you're mercenary grant if you don't recruit enough in time? Boy, I sure hope this is just another one of those stupid useless what if questions.

human learns from experience..more experiences translates into brave=stronghearted=fearless=higher self confident. make sure they understand it. better start it in this early stages. dont forget kind hearted is another important aspect!

Really, there is no definate way. The only things I could think of would be cruel and punishing, thus I'm not mentioning them... just give them plenty of support, confidence in themselves, and help build their self esteem. Also, prove to them that though they should be cautious and careful of the world around them, they have no reason to actively fear it.
