For parents

Confidence is not loudness — it is the willingness to try. These stories always show the wobble before the win, so your child learns that nerves are part of being brave, not proof they should stop. Praise the trying you notice afterwards rather than the result.

These are stories, not therapy. If you ever have a worry about your child’s wellbeing, your health visitor, GP or school are the right next step.

Chat about it afterwards

  • What was the bravest, wobbliest moment in the story?
  • What did the character do first, before the big try?
  • When have your knees felt wobbly and you did it anyway?
  • Who cheers for you when you try something hard?
  • What is one small brave thing we could try this week?
