Todd Peddlesfoot learned a valuable lesson from Lloyd, a special friend to the Peddlesfoot family. Lloyd told Todd that we should all think of good things to do that might be difficult and then try our hardest to do them—that’s challenging ourselves. Find out, as Todd did, that it takes a lot of courage to try new and challenging things! Who doesn’t remember being afraid of the dark? Because the minds of children often exaggerate perceived threats, even immobilizing them in some instances, learning to face fears is critical in a child’s development. Children need to know that acting courageously doesn’t always mean that we feel brave, but we still try to do what we need to do even when it’s difficult or intimidating—we act in the face of fear. Even children at a very early age are faced with peer pressure, even though they would not recognize it as such, but they still need to learn how to take a stand for what is perceived by them as “right.” Besides doing what’s right in the face of pressure, or facing imagined fears, children need to learn to challenge themselves in certain areas even when it is threatening or there is a fear of failure. Lastly, it is excellent practice for children to be brave on behalf of others, for standing by them when they are faced with challenging situations.
