In Don't Put Yourself Down in Circus Town, children will hear how Ringmaster Rick fosters confidence in Lion Tamer Larry, Polka Dot Patti, Juan, and Juanita by discouraging negative self-talk and put-down statements, by encouraging them to be persistent and ask for help, and by focusing their effort, not results. With practice and time, they learn to bounce-back from mistakes and mishaps and feel more confident!
