Zara Gets Brave and Jumps
Trying something new can feel a little scary, but that doesn’t mean your child isn’t brave.
In this story, Zara the Zebra wants to do something she’s never tried before. At first, her belly feels fluttery and her body isn’t quite ready. But with time, help, and a chance to go at her own pace, Zara starts to feel brave and decides to try.
This episode helps toddlers and preschoolers:
Understand that bravery doesn’t mean rushing
Learn how practicing with help can build confidence
Notice body cues like butterflies in the belly or big, swirly feelings
Feel proud of taking small steps toward something new
It’s okay to wait. It’s okay to ask for help. And it’s okay to feel nervous and brave at the same time.
Try repeating Zara’s brave words the next time your child feels unsure:
“I can do it. I am brave.”
