PPBF: When You Are Brave
Today I'm excited because good things are happening. On Wednesday, I enjoyed meeting the school family and speaking at the School of Science and Technology, then yesterday, an anonymous patron at The Red Oak Cafe paid for our lunch.
Last night I got to speak at a Family Character Night
at Ferguson Elementary.
With every blessing, there's a burden.
One of the pipes in our attic sprung a leak
and flooded the carpeting in two of our rooms.
What a mess; my feelings are all over the place.
But I am super excited about today's PPBF.

Why I like this book: True confessions, I bought this book before I finished reading it. Two pages hooked me. Ok, fine, I'll give you the page numbers: Nine. Ten. and Eleven. But you're going to have to buy the book to find out why I got to page eleven and was sold. It's the kind of book that makes me wish I still had students to read it to. But not to worry; I will take it with me on my next school visit. It's all about finding that light within, that still, small spark that will glow stronger and burn brighter with practice until it's full-blow bravery. Until you're not longer a ground-crawling caterpillar but a transformed free-flyer.
Use this treasure as a springboard for talking about emotions.
There is no shame in being scared.
In fact, it's a part of life.
Remind your learners that feelings choose us,
but we get to choose what we do with them.
Our job is to figure out how to
respond to fear.
To take control,
to shine that light,
to show courage.
Invite your students to share about a time
when they didn't feel very brave.
Let them talk through how it felt
and what they did to self-soothe
and get through the fright
to the other side.
Encourage them to try some deep breathing exercises
while they use a mantra like: Inhale courage, exhale worries.

Compare and contrast it with another of your favorite titles
that target self-awareness and emotional regulation.
