Bravery Ladder

Could the kids you work with overcome their biggest fears by breaking them down into simple baby steps?

The Bravery Ladder is an evidence-based exposure therapy approach that helps people conquer fears of public speaking, heights, social situations, and more.

The research is impressive: participants went from being terrified of spiders to letting tarantulas crawl on their hands in just 2 hours, with a 100% success rate!

Watch this week's video then have kids identify one of their fears, create their own 5-rung bravery ladder, and start with step one.

This simple technique teaches resilience, courage-building, and the power of gradual progress.
