For all those with young children, teach them not to fear thunderstorms. (DO teach them about lightning safety.) Even if you are afraid, hide it and make a game of thunderstorms. From a safe place, count the seconds between lightning flash and thunder to determine the distance. Say “oooh” at a pretty flash. Lightning is fun! You will save them from a lifetime with an unnecessary phobia.
