Courage Critter was helpful in learning how to ride her bike!
Empower, Support, Protect & Love
The Courage Critters program is a tool that parents, caregivers, teachers, doctors and children can use as a guide to decrease common childhood fears, body focused behaviors and tics. If every child knew these skills it would be of great benefit to our children's mental and physical health. The Courage Critter will provide the child with comfort while this website offers a fun, and informative program.
There are many stuffed animals available on the market, but none serve the same function as Courage Critters. Children often hold a beloved stuffed animal close to them in difficult situations, but none have the training of the Courage Critter!
This is a unique system for issues that impact nearly every child and their families.
