Everyone feels nervous sometimes — whether you're a Grammy-winning performer or a kid who hasn't started Kindergarten yet!
This month, Little Kids, Big Hearts is focused on feeling nervous — what it is to feel nervous and some strategies to cope with the feeling!
Today, we're thrilled to release an original Little Kids, Big Hearts song by the amazing educator/composer Benjamin Weiner called NERVOUS. It's inspired by the words that our amazing kid guests shared on our episode "Wobbly to Wow With Judge Reinhold" and by Doechii's powerful song "Anxiety."
NERVOUS by Benjamin Weiner
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I take a deep breath, and shake my hands out, too.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
My palms are sweaty getting ready for a dance show.
My heart starts beating when I'm meeting someone I don't know.
Going to a new place.
You can see the feeling on my face.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I take a deep breath, and shake my hands out, too.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
When my tummy's feeling funny and my hands shake,
My voice is breaking when I think I'm making a mistake.
I know my family can calm me down.
And it's better just to say it out loud.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I take a deep breath, and shake my hands out, too.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
So, take a deep breath [breath],
Shake your hands out: shake, shake, shake, shake.
And take a deep breath [breath],
And shake your hands out: shake, shake, and sing
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
I take a deep breath, and shake my hands out, too.
I'm feeling nervous, but I know what to do.
Hmm...
