Grade 3 · SEL · Lesson 25

Overcoming Fears and Failures

Fear is a feeling that warns you of something uncertain or threatening. Failure is what happens when an attempt does not succeed. Both are completely normal — every person on earth experiences them. The goal is not to eliminate fear or avoid failure. The goal is to develop the resilience to keep going despite them.

What this lesson teaches

1Sequence the five steps for overcoming a fear or failure — name it, breathe, try anyway, reflect, celebrate progress
2Explain why each step builds the resilience to keep going
3Distinguish treating failure as data from treating it as a verdict
