Little Tiger - Courage

For children, one of the most important things to understand is that courage doesn't always feel like courage. Most of the time, it simply involves being as brave as possible when facing new experiences and difficult situations.

Courage comes in various forms and expressions. Some acts may be large, and others may be small. Nevertheless, when all the small acts are added up, they may make as big of an impact as a single extraordinary act of courage.

Being courageous has surprising benefits for children. It boosts resilience, confidence, willpower, learning, performance, and engagement. A bold child is twice as likely to resist peer pressure and say no to temptations that run counter to their family values.
