Has your child ever said “I can’t do this” or “I’m not good at that”? Do they find it hard to see the good in themselves? Do they feel overwhelmed at times? Children can struggle with life’s challenges, big and small. Written in a child-friendly way, featuring practical tools they can use every day, this book will help your child build new habits and ways of thinking, understand their emotions, and become happier and more resilient. We know mindfulness can help us and our children to live in the moment and calm our minds. But what exactly is mindfulness? And why does it make it easier to deal with whatever life throws at us? How does your brain work, and what does it have to do with moods? Why do you sometimes feel anxious, cross or afraid, and what can you do about it? How can breathing, looking at a snowglobe, or changing what the voice inside you says, help you feel better? When we tell ourselves negative stories – like “I’m not good at maths” – it becomes harder to learn. But if we can change our mindset – “I’m not good at maths yet” – we help our brains to learn.

 "Cute. I liked the illustrations and they way that the book was organized. The mindsets provided were helpful and written at an appropriate level. Explained for children, but also entertaining enough for an adult to read. I liked the real life examples of optimism, perseverance, and resilience." — NetGalley Educator


"As a mom with a child who is on the Autism Spectrum I am always looking for books to help guide me in teaching and helping my little ones ... I really love this guide.
