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

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.

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.

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.

Great message, poor quality

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 14 December 2019

Verified Purchase

Sadly I had to return this product. It arrived all bent, partly because of my layman but also because it’s very thin and flimsy. I knew it was a paper back but when it arrived it seemed ultra light weight. It was intended as a gift and I didn’t feel it was substantial enough. It’s a shame because the actual message of the book is a valuable one but the production quality let it down.
