Materials

• flashlight or phone light

1. Dim a room or find a dark closet. Hand your little one a flashlight. 2. Say, "Brave explorers go into the dark! You have a light — you're in charge." 3. Let them lead. Follow behind. They point the light at anything that seems spooky and name it: "It's just a coat! It's just a box!" 4. After the adventure, ask: "Were you scared? You did it anyway — that's what brave means." 5. High-five. Brave doesn't mean not scared. Brave means doing it even when you're scared.
