Zina’s Brave Hun – A Courage-Building Song for Kids About Trying New Things, One Step at a Time

Gentle Exposure + Courage + Growth Mindset

10 Tips for Parents to Support Bravery and Exploration Like Zina:

Encourage “One Step at a Time” Thinking: Remind your child they don’t have to do everything at once—just the next small step.
Use Nature Walks to Build Confidence: Explore slowly, like Zina, and praise each brave moment (“You touched the leaf! You stepped over the log!”).
Sing the Song Before a New Experience: Whether it’s a first day of school or a doctor visit, this song can calm nerves and inspire courage.
Celebrate Curiosity Over Perfection: Ask, “What did you try today?” instead of “Did you do it right?”
Draw or Paint Their Brave Steps: Let your child illustrate each new thing they’ve tried—even small things like saying hello or tasting a new food.
Make a “Brave Berries” Chart: Every time they do something new or brave, add a sticker or berry to a bush-shaped poster.
Use Mantras from the Song: Repeat “Step by step” or “I’m berry proud of me” as mini confidence boosters.
Walk Beside Them Literally and Emotionally: Like Zina’s sister, offer presence and support instead of pushing them forward.
Reframe Mistakes as Growth: “Oops moments” are proof they’re trying—celebrate the effort, not the outcome.
Tell Your Own Brave Stories: Share a memory of when you were scared and tried anyway—it makes bravery relatable.
