Find Your Confidence

LoveReading4Kids Says

Activities to Help You Believe in Yourself

With full colour illustrations and a wide range of clearly explained exercises and coping strategies, this book will be a real help to children who need to find courage and build their confidence. It will enable them to identify where confidence is lacking, and it suggests lots of ways to overcome anxiety. It defines self-esteem and shows how that can be built too and the strategies described will raise children’s understanding of their emotions and help them deal with doubts and worries.

In addition to a range of mental exercises, including mindfulness, it suggests physical activities that will help and underlines the benefits of being creative. Visually it’s very appealing and the tone is reassuring throughout, so that children will feel heard and empowered.

A section at the back offers professional advice for parents and other adults and a useful list of further reading. A comprehensive and effective self-help guide for all children.
