Be Brave! Mindful Kids: An Activity Book for Children Who Sometimes Feel Scared or Afraid

Product Information

Those decisions require a certain degree of bravery and, if you constantly hold yourself back from pursuing these aspirations (or whatever is on your own list), your life may feel stilted—when a little bit of confidence and guts could push you toward living an even richer, more fulfilling life. This will help you set a timeline to achieve your goals so you don't let too much time pass without taking action.

This kind of fear keeps you stuck in your comfort zone and robs you of opportunities and experiences that can enhance your life. As they take on manageable challenges, they can build a sense of competence, learning that they are an instrument of effective change in the world and that their skills can grow over time.Unlike courage, a deliberate mustering of determination in the face of distressing circumstances, bravery tends to be a part of someone’s general mindset. The very things that light us up in life are often the ones that lie beyond the edge of our comfort zone.

These shared memories of daring and growing can help provide the encouragement a young person needs to continue – step by step and challenge by challenge – to develop into the flourishing adult they will be one day. I remember the day I told a friend for the first time what was really going on in my head and heart. Can a type of challenge they’ve chosen involve friends, siblings or cousins around their age, or other peers? If you’re going over the cliff of anger, it may be best to pause and consider your next best action.

And, the more intimate, real and raw the blog, the more vulnerable and exposed I feel — the greater the fear. Group positive affect occurs when the people you spend time with influence your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a positive way through a shared experience, like collective bravery.
