Brave like me | School of Emotions 🦸🏻

A song that teaches that fear is natural and can protect us. Children learn to name what scares them and find courage with support.

Welcome to the School of Emotions – a musical series designed to help children recognize, express, and understand their feelings.
Each song is written in simple, poetic language with rhythms like reggae, ska, samba, and mambo that invite kids to dance, sing, and reflect.
Perfect for families and teachers who want to support the social-emotional development of children ages 3 to 8.

Lyrics:

When the room is very big and the shadow wants to come in,
my tummy tickles and I want to hide now.
Fear knocks on the door to help me take care,
I tell it: “thank you, fear, come, I will listen to you.”

I turn on a little light, I take your hand,
I take small steps, with you and with a sibling.
I am brave like me,
even if I'm scared, I go.

I breathe and say who I am:
“With help, I can today.”
I am brave like me,
even if I'm scared, I go.

I breathe and say who I am:
“With help, I can today.”

I name what scares me: “loud noise over there,”
if I ask and they answer me, it will get smaller.

I make a three-step plan: I look, I try and that's it,
and if I need a hug, I ask for it again!
I close my eyes, count three,
I open slowly and look well.

I am brave in my own way,
each day a little more!
I am brave like me,
even if I'm scared, I go.

I breathe and say who I am:
“With help, I can today.”
