Sam sees a tall new slide at the playground and feels nervous, with a wobbly mouth and a wobbly tummy, and a green tick shows that the feeling is okay. Sam takes a big, slow breath, climbs the steps one, two, three, zooms down, and finds out that slides are fun, which shows that trying new things while nervous is brave and helps us find what we like.
