Bravery Grows

Melissa Giglio
4.39/5 (36 ratings)
Everyone has their own bravery to grow! The book Bravery Grows demonstrates how to support your child to build their brave muscles, encouraging their brave voice to come out. Bravery Grows tells the story of a girl who struggles with Selective Mutism (SM), an anxiety disorder often diagnosed in early childhood. It is defined by a child's persistent inability to speak in specific social settings and with certain people. Children with SM can often communicate verbally in settings where they feel comfortable (e.g., at home, with caregivers and siblings). However, they are unable to speak or effectively communicate in environments where speaking is expected (e.g., in school, in public, with extended family). Children with SM often are unable to communicate verbally, and they may use nonverbal communication, such as gestures, pointing, and nodding in settings when they are unable to speak. SM impacts social and emotional development and performance in school (e.g., children may be unable to ask questions or have difficulty accessing the curriculum). While the main character is confident at home, her “bravery glow” dims at school and in social situations. She is unable to share her words or ideas with anyone outside of her comfort zone, including her teachers and peers, leaving her feeling frustrated and unsure of what to do. However, with her parents' support, love, and understanding, she learns strategies to overcome her anxiety and gain confidence. Each small step she makes helps her confidence to grow and her bravery glow to shine brightly again. The story is relatable for any child who wants to learn how to build their brave muscles and overcome things they may be struggling with.
