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

Product Information

Since we don’t know how long it will take for the world to right itself—and much of that depends on the actions of millions of other people—we are left wondering what is.

Tell and retell stories that underscore an adolescent’s capabilities, and show how these connect to challenges they face now. The fear of what might happen or making the wrong decision can cause nothing to happen in your life. You can use a technique like the "five whys" technique to get down to the true cause of your apprehension. Reflection and patience is core to consolidating learning, development, strategic thinking, recharging and living an authentic and meaningful life.Or, if you want to travel the world, see if you can work remotely or take a long-term absence from your job to go and see new places. My brother just told me that he is pursuing legal action against a large company and he plans on representing himself — this, to me is brave. The examples and strategies will mainly focus on the years spanning the beginning of adolescence to the transition to college or the workforce (approximately age 10 to age 19).

To successfully transition from childhood to adolescence to adulthood, young people need to willingly confront experiences they’ve never had to navigate before, and ideally emerge from these experiences with an increased sense of competence. Take responsibility when you perform brilliantly, but also when you misstep and know you can do better. Harnessing courage, building confidence, and working through situations outside of your comfort zone may help you be brave. You suggest that they could identify someone who looks friendly and has an empty seat next to them, and then ask if it’s OK to sit there.I can’t guarantee that it will be painless; in fact, there will be a lot of growing pains and discomfort as you continually expand outside of your comfort zone. Accountability requires courage because when you do well, you must be confident enough to feel good about your success, and when you can do better, you must be confident enough to admit the gap and fill it. You don’t know the way out of your current situation yet because you haven’t yet spoken the truth of your desire to change. Over time, however, the dissonance in my soul between how I was living and how I really wanted to show up in the world became too loud to ignore. If you are struggling with psychological difficulties, we encourage you to seek help from a professional source.

You can encourage your child to be self-directed, to autonomously set a path related to their goals, and to take the first (and then the second, and then the third) step down that path. It would not be a hazardous journey – just a few blocks away in a neighbourhood full of gingerbread houses and families spilling out on to their warmly lit porches. Like so much of parenting, it is a bit of a dance, and requires a lot of communication and adjustment over time.Increase your comfort and use of abstract and strategic thinking to gain a broader perspective in work and life. I’m sharing my challenges and experience in how I’ve learned to be brave and persistent in the hope that it will inspire you. Coach Marlee (your amazing AI-powered personal coach) will analyse your unique traits and goals to let you know which program to start with (and if there are any you should skip)!

Human beings learn self-efficacy by acting on our worlds, and seeing the world meaningfully respond.Bravery is something that can be built, and learning how to be brave can help you achieve personal growth in other areas, like self-confidence.
