Blue is nervous about starting swimming lessons.  Rosie shares what helped her when she was scared about going down the slide!  Watch the latest episode of Rosie & Blue called “Blue starts swimming lessons” here:

Virtue featured:

Courage is being brave and doing something even though you may be a bit afraid.  Rosie shows Blue some techniques that help her gather courage when she’s nervous.

Discussion questions:

What was Blue afraid of?

What was Rosie afraid of?

What did Rosie do to help herself feel courageous?

Older children may benefit from being asked about situations they have overcome fear, to help them identify what it feels like to be courageous.

Activity:

Close your eyes and imagine yourself doing the thing you are afraid of.  You can also take deep breaths and tell yourself “I am courageous,” “I can do it” or “I am brave.”
