Stories for Dealing with Uncertainty
Changing circumstances can often bring stress, worry, and discomfort. This is particularly true when we don’t know how long the change will last or what the outcome will be. As parents, educators, and folks who work with children, we have a unique opportunity to model how to navigate the waters when we aren’t sure. We can show kids what it’s like to sit with uncertainty while maintaining a sense of peace and centeredness. We can do this through our direct actions and by providing examples of other kids dealing with uncertainty in healthy and secure ways.
For this playlist, we’ve gathered stories that convey some of our best examples of young characters learning to deal with uncertainty.
