N is for Nervous

N is for Nervous is a digital emotional learning book that helps children understand the jittery, uneasy feeling that can show up before something new, unfamiliar, important, or uncertain. Nervousness can appear as butterflies in the stomach, racing thoughts, fidgeting, hesitation, or suddenly wanting to avoid something completely.

This book gives young readers simple language for recognizing those signals and understanding that nervousness can exist alongside excitement, bravery, and curiosity.

This book is part of A–Z of Being Human. Start with Nervous, then continue into Anxiety, Worried, Uncertain, Excited, and the rest of the archive.
