We may not like doing scary things but with courage we can face any challenge!

Talking Points:

  • Courage is what you need when you’re scared to do something. Instead of running away, courage helps you to face your fears. 
  • You can show courage by saying “No” to your friends when they want you to do something you know you shouldn’t.
  • It takes courage to try something new like playing a new sport or trying out for the school play. Just take a deep breath and go for it!
  • Be courageous and ask questions, especially if you don’t understand what your teacher or coach is trying to say.
