Speaker 1: Wow, Oh, Lisa, you made this. That's right, a backyard
Speaker 1: obstacle course. We've got things to climb, slide down, and
Speaker 1: jump off.
Speaker 2: He's ready.
Speaker 3: Yeah, let's go.
Speaker 4: Billy says he's ready, but he sounds a bit nervous.
Speaker 4: Welcome to Stories for Kids by Lingo Kids, where we
Speaker 4: discover fascinating facts about the world around us and the
Speaker 4: fun of play learning. Today, we're learning about how to
Speaker 4: turn weakness into strength. Let's see how this obstacle course
Speaker 4: plays out.
Speaker 1: All right, everyone, First things first, the balance beam, Dorry,
Speaker 1: it's not too high off the ground.
Speaker 5: Elliot's first.
Speaker 2: Here I go, my turn.
Speaker 5: Go for a Cowie.
Speaker 3: I did it?
Speaker 5: Your turn, Billy? Are you ready?
Speaker 4: Billy says he thought of a clever way to get across.
Speaker 1: You flew across the balance beam. Well I suppose that's okay.
Speaker 1: Let's move on to the next obstacle. Ye, all right, everyone.
Speaker 1: Next up is the climbing wall.
Speaker 2: Oh wow, this looks like a tough one. You can
Speaker 2: do it, Elliott. Oh, Bry, here I go, I did it? Callie?
Speaker 2: You're up here?
Speaker 4: I come, yeah, nice one, Callie.
Speaker 2: Billy you go now.
Speaker 4: Billy says he's going to work smarter, not harder.
Speaker 2: Billy, that's great, you flew to the top, but don't
Speaker 2: you want to try climbing?
Speaker 5: All right?
Speaker 4: The limbo by everyone underneath? Billy says he's just going
Speaker 4: to fly around, since that's the easier way. Oh what
Speaker 4: do you think, lingo kids listeners? Why might Billy be
Speaker 4: doing what's easiest for him? Do you think he might
Speaker 4: be afraid?
Speaker 1: All right, well, I guess let's move to the last obstacle.
Speaker 2: We're going to slide down this.
Speaker 3: Hole like Fireford. Here I go, look out.
Speaker 1: Okay, Billy, you're turned. Do you think you want to
Speaker 1: try and the way we're doing it instead of flying,
Speaker 1: I'll come Billy.
Speaker 4: Billy says that he knows an easier way to do it.
Speaker 2: Well, sure, it's easier for you, Billy.
Speaker 4: I've noticed something today.
Speaker 1: You're doing everything in a way you already know, and
Speaker 1: it feels like there's something that's been on your mind.
Speaker 3: Is there anything he wants to talk about?
Speaker 4: Billy says, it's something that's hard to talk about.
Speaker 2: You can take.
Speaker 3: Your time, Billy. Alice's right, there's no rush.
Speaker 4: Billy says he does really want to talk about it,
Speaker 4: but he doesn't really know the words that will help him.
Speaker 4: He isn't sure how to describe what he is feeling. Huh,
Speaker 4: he says he's found the word. He says, he's Oh, Billy,
Speaker 4: what did he say? He says that he's a cowword?
Speaker 3: What?
Speaker 5: Billy?
Speaker 2: Why would you call yourself that? A coward?
Speaker 3: What's that?
Speaker 4: It means someone who doesn't have the courage to do something?
Speaker 2: Billy, why do you think you're a coward?
Speaker 4: Billy says that's just what he is. He's scared to
Speaker 4: do the obstacle course the way you're all doing it.
Speaker 4: But Billy, that doesn't make you a coward.
Speaker 5: Billy says it does.
Speaker 4: He always tries to find the easiest way to do something.
Speaker 1: Well, sure, but that's because you're a genius.
Speaker 3: Lisa's right, you're such a smart guy.
Speaker 2: You're trying to find solutions that work for you.
Speaker 4: Billy's trying to explain that his solutions are all about facts.
Speaker 4: He just doesn't know how to deal with solving problems
Speaker 4: that involve his emotions.
Speaker 3: Well, it's good that you recognize that, Billy.
Speaker 1: Ad absolutely, So, what's the main problem want to solve
Speaker 1: and maybe we can help.
Speaker 4: Billy says that sometimes he doesn't challenge himself to do
Speaker 4: new things, and so certain things like this obstacle course
Speaker 4: really scare him.
Speaker 2: But Billy, we all get scared. Of course, I'm scared of.
Speaker 3: Things that Lisa isn't scared of.
Speaker 4: And certain things scare me that don't scare Elliot.
Speaker 2: But Billy, that doesn't make you a coward, of course not.
Speaker 1: You've already done the most important thing. You admitted you
Speaker 1: were scared. Do you know how much bravery that takes?
Speaker 1: Lisu is right, telling people you're scared is one of
Speaker 1: the hardest things you can do.
Speaker 3: That's right, Elliot. So the question is what did you
Speaker 3: want to do, Billy.
Speaker 1: Yeah, you don't have to slide down if you're afraid.
Speaker 4: It's perfectly okay.
Speaker 2: Or we can help you if you want it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you don't need to start from very high up,
Speaker 3: Miss Paul might be a bit tough to wrap your
Speaker 3: wings around. Yeah, why don't you start with something smaller.
Speaker 4: That's a great suggestion, Lisa. Remember lingo kids listeners, we
Speaker 4: don't need to start with a humongous new challenge when
Speaker 4: we try new things. We can start with a small
Speaker 4: challenge then work our way up here.
Speaker 2: What about sliding down this rake. Yeah, wanna go, Billy,
Speaker 2: nice job.
Speaker 4: Do you want to try the next thing?
Speaker 2: But remember you don't have to if it makes you uncomfortable.
Speaker 4: Billy says he wants to try more. In fact, he'd
Speaker 4: like to do the whole obstacle course again.
Speaker 6: Wow, let's do it, Ballan's beam, wimble bar.
Speaker 5: And finally the fireman's pall.
Speaker 2: Yay, Billy.
Speaker 3: Remember you don't have to do it if you're too scared.
Speaker 2: That doesn't make you a coward.
Speaker 3: Yeah, you're one of the bravest friends I know.
Speaker 4: Billy wants to thank you, and he says that he
Speaker 4: knows he doesn't have to do it, he just wants to.
Speaker 5: He also says, look out below, Lingo.
Speaker 4: Kids listeners, we learned that even the most confident friends
Speaker 4: can be scared sometimes, and that's okay. We all have
Speaker 4: things that frighten us. Admitting when we're scared and asking
Speaker 4: for help are important ways we can grow. We'll see
Speaker 4: you next time, Lingo Kids listeners. Some of you liked
Speaker 4: our miniseries so much that you asked for another mini series,
Speaker 4: and guess what we listened. Join us this summer for
Speaker 4: a very special mini series, The Mystery of the missing Torch.
