Do it young is the biggest thing.. once they're adults it's much harder because you're overcoming existing fear.

You only get a few days a year but we took them outside and let them watch, showed them we weren't scared.. they both find the pretty lights fascinating, and being able to see what is making the whistles and bangs helps I think.

Sometimes need to reinforce it with the younger one, although this year he's been mostly fine. The older one doesn't GAF.

General community for news/discussion in the UK.

Less serious posts should go in !casualuk@feddit.uk or !andfinally@feddit.uk
More serious politics should go in !uk_politics@feddit.uk.

Try not to spam the same link to multiple feddit.uk communities.
Pick the most appropriate, and put it there.

Posts should be related to UK-centric news, and should be either a link to a reputable source, or a text post on this community.

Opinion pieces are also allowed, provided they are not misleading/misrepresented/drivel, and have proper sources.

If you think "reputable news source" needs some definition, by all means start a meta thread.

Posts should be manually submitted, not by bot. Link titles should not be editorialised.

Disappointing comments will generally be left to fester in ratio, outright horrible comments will be removed.
Message the mods if you feel something really should be removed, or if a user seems to have a pattern of awful comments.
