Deep dives
The Power of Fear in Childhood
Fear can profoundly shape childhood experiences, as illustrated by Zaina Tisema’s story about the imaginary figure known as Derabe, invoked by her mother to enforce rules. The siblings each interpreted Derabe differently—one saw it as a terrifying spider, another as a punisher, and Zaina imagined it as a vampire rabbit. This fear persisted until they grew older and discovered their interpretations varied widely, revealing the personal nature of fear itself. Ultimately, Zaina learned that what often terrifies us is not always as daunting as it seems, and sometimes our fears might not even be based on reality.
