Feeling Your Best
Grover learns that moving his body helps him feel happy and strong.
Grover tries to be the best at lots of things — tennis, tap dancing, and basketball — but soon he learns an important lesson: feeling your best isn’t about being the best at everything. With support from a friend, Grover discovers that doing what makes him feel good — like moving his body — can help boost confidence, joy, and well-being. Watch this video alongside children in your care and talk through some questions to help kids consider what keeps them at their best!
