You learn to handle things by handling things. Your kids learn to handle things by watching you handle things.

You might be scared or lack confidence, but life is a game of gaining confidence through incrementally building competence, one challenge at a time. Always be mindful how others, especially little eyes, see how you comport yourself through challenge. In adults, it affects trust; in children, it shapes who they will be.
