Do you want to teach your children about Confidence, Resilience and a Growth Mindset? With My Strong Mind your children will be introduced to mental strength and learn about techniques to develop their own strong mind.

The story is about Kate, a sporty and happy girl who uses her strong mind to tackle her daily challenges with a positive attitude.

Kate faces several situations your children will face too. She applies a positive attitude to deal with her challenges. Amongst them are getting ready in time in the morning, doing cartwheels, standing in front of the whole class with show and tell and playing basketball.

Kate applies techniques like goal setting, positive self-talk, accept failure as learning, visualisation of a problem, breathing or mindfulness exercise, gratitude, and controlled distraction. These tips to build a strong mind in children are presented in an easy to read, fun and practical way.

It's a great book for children, especially those at primary school, to read under their own steam. Kate's story will open the door for your children to commence building their own strong mind. This awareness and knowledge will enable your children to participate in an open dialogue about the importance of mental strength and how to develop it.

This book aspires to educate children and parents about mental toughness and open a positive dialogue on the subject. Kate solves her every day problems with a positive attitude and hopefully will help 5-8 year old children do the same.

Fun exercises to build mental strength in your kids can be downloaded for free from www.mentaltoughness.online

It’s been very helpful to build mindfulness and understanding that we can control our thoughts and emotions

Sarah Martin

This is an extremely useful little book

Reviewed in Australia on 12 April 2018

A great book to read to young children, as it talks about everyday situations with some interesting lessons to be learnt. Kate is an engaging character and we follow her as she discovers resilience to deal with the normal ups and downs of life by developing the strength of mind to be herself, and do her best, while realising that sometimes that won't actually be quite good enough to achieve her goal. I particularly liked her interaction with her father, it felt very real. I read this book to my granddaughter and she loved it, and I could see her identifying with Kate as we read it. I think she might have taken to heart some of the important lifelong lessons that the story imparts. Actually it is probably a good book to have and read from time to time to young children when they encounter similar problems and have a sense of not managing the situation very well.

I’m certain the author was watching us through a window that day. A great book for little minds, teaching resilience and staying positive. -dad

Not worth the money

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 2 June 2019

I was looking forward to this book coming as soon as opened I was very disappoint with quality.

Too bad the contents are exceptional.

For £9.45 I expected so much better, the pages are very fine, the cover remains half - open since the first time you read it.

Not necessary for an emotional healthy 5yo

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 October 2019

Verified Purchase

I recommend you to buy this book only if your child is struggling with things like bulling in school or other recognisable psychological issues. Otherwise your child won't benefit from it, but will make a problem! It happened with my 5 yo. And I think that the 'technique' proposed in the book work for 7yo or older. A 5 yo can't really understand or apply them, they look quite confusing to them. The book is OK, but not brilliant.

very well written and very helpful for little girls struggling with things with their life. My daughter get anxious about little things very easily and I wasnt sure what's the best way to approach it. This book for her peace of mind worked very well and I'd recommend it to other parents.

Useful tool to aid kids with resilience, seemed to resonate with my 6 year old

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 3 January 2021

Verified Purchase

My son is very tentative when it comes to new situations or tackling things that he is scared of. I bought this book as another tool to use as we have been working on resilience and how to approach situations such as this. This book seems to have resonated with him, I didn't think the cover looked particularly appealing for a just turned 6 year old however in a pile of new Christmas books he chose this one.
What surprised me the most, was a trip to the park recently when he came across a large piece of climbing apparatus and he said he couldn't do it. We reminded him of the words in the book, and he said he would have a go even though he was scared. Half way up I could hear him repeating some of the words from the book, reminding himself that he could do it.
This is simply a book, it is not going to fix any problems you might have but it is another tool at your disposal and seemed to resonate with my son.
Book is a little flimsy but shouldn't impact too much of you take care of books as we encourage our children to do.

For infant age

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 9 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Wasn't suitable for my 9 year old as the content is really only good for quite young kids. More infant than junior age.
Very simply written as some ideas to try to be positive about some tricky things.
Not a book of a variety of strategies for a kid to try.
