A bee buzzes by a child's face, and the scared feeling is fear, about a danger right now. Later the child thinks "What if a bee stings me tomorrow?", and that feeling is a worry, about something that might happen; a time arrow under the picture puts fear at "now" and worry at "later". Both feelings can make a heart beat fast, everyone has them, and a trusted adult can help with a big one. The video ends with slow belly breathing and the recap "Fear: danger now. Worry: what might happen."
