Clara the Chicken Finds Her Brave – A Courage-Building Song for Kids with Fears

Courage + Exposure Therapy + Growth Mindset

10 Tips for Parents to Encourage Bravery at Home:

  1. Celebrate Tiny Steps: Just like Clara, recognize every “brave peck”—even if it's just saying
    hello or trying a new food.
  2. Use Humor to Reduce Fear: Make silly names for fears (like “Feather Duster of Doom”) to help your
    child laugh at what scares them.
  3. Normalize Being Scared: Remind them that everyone feels fear sometimes—even chickens!
  4. Role-Play Confidence: Set up pretend “brave olympics” at home using pillows, shadows, and friendly challenges.
  5. Model Bravery: Share when you felt nervous but tried anyway (e.g., giving a
    speech, going to the dentist).
  6. Use a Brave Buddy: Just like Clara had Peep, let your child choose a toy or stuffed animal that “helps them be brave.”
  7. Create a ‘Brave Feather Chart’: Each act of courage earns a feather (sticker) on their chart—watch their wings grow!
  8. Praise the Effort, Not Perfection: Say, “I’m proud you tried,” not just “You did it!”—this builds resilience.
  9. Repeat the Song Before Tough Moments: Use the chorus as a mantra before anxiety triggers (e.g., school drop-off).
  10. Draw Their Bravery: After a brave moment, let them draw what they did and how it felt.
