Stories about Bravery and Courage

   Before you realize it your child is growing up and ready to go on to new places without you.  One such place is school.  We often read fairy tales and stories about bravely and courageously facing personal monsters.  These tales have been around for many years to reassure children (and their parents) that yes, it is scary out there, but children can gather their courage and go out to meet the world and new things.

 

   Here are some confidence-building stories to enjoy during this Back-to-School month.
