Trying something new can feel exciting-but it can also feel a little scary. Whether it's starting a new activity, meeting new friends, learning a new skill, or facing an unfamiliar situation, I Can Try New Things helps children understand that it's okay to feel nervous and that bravery often begins with taking one small step.
Written in simple, reassuring language, this engaging social story teaches children that mistakes are part of learning, practice helps build confidence, and asking for help is always okay. Through relatable examples and positive encouragement, children learn strategies for approaching new experiences with curiosity and confidence.
Perfect for parents, teachers, counselors, therapists, and caregivers, this book supports social-emotional learning while helping children develop resilience and a positive attitude toward challenges.
