Review of advance copy received from Publisher

We have had an advisory period in my school for several years now, and the activities that are provided focus a lot on goal setting and academic focus. I am constantly surprised as to how completely unmotivated many of my students are. They have no goals for the school year, and haven't really thought about life beyond high school. Perhaps because my parents were both educators, I always had a list of Things To Be Done and had clear career goals even in sixth grade. Well, the dentist thing didn't really pan out, but I always had an idea that I needed to work towards my future.
Nafousi's Manifest for Kids provides much needed support in learning how to embrace life rather than just floating through it. It starts with a very modern look at understanding emotions, and offers good tips with how to deal with feelings like fear, worry, and guilt. This was hard for me as a 60 year old to fully embrace, since my mother was a firm believer that all emotions should be squashed and never shared with others, but this generational difference makes this a book that older caretakers should read before handing to tweens, so that we can understand the more modern approaches to these topics.
I've seen a lack of confidence in many of my students; as much as shame shaped my childhood, I was always told that I could do anything I set my mind to. Today's tweens need more details about how to believe in themselves, and the chapter on Confidence and Self-Belief is very information. I love that it talks about doing what makes you happy, but also about the importance of being kind to others.
Gratitude is sometimes hard to come by, so the advice to focus on what one has, rather than what one doesn't have is a great place to start. I liked the lists that this gave, and there is a short space for the reader to write down things for which to be grateful. There's some helpful rephrasing (I especially liked turning "I'm bored." into "I'm going to find something to do."). I'm a big proponent of thanking people, and this also has information about the harm of comparing ourselves to others, and of spending too much time on social media. Of course, there are entire books surrounding that slippery slope.
The final chapter has some great step-by-step tips on goal setting that will be helpful. These rely more heavily on things like vision boards and visualization than the ubiquitous SMART goals we hear about at school, but it's good to get a different viewpoint on things.
The last half of the book is a guided journal, so this wouldn't be a great book for a school library. This journal is undated, but has the days of the week at the top. I was a little surprised that the prompts were the same on all of the pages. They rely heavily on the "emotional toolbox" that was talked about at the beginning of the book, and end with saying "I believe in myself" as an affirmation.
Several years ago, I reviewed a similar journal (the name of which I can't for the life of me recall), and gave it to one of my students who was struggling with some family and personal issues. She seemed to think it helped her a lot, and gave her some information on how to deal with various situations that people in her life had not helped her with. This would make a good gift for a middle school student struggling to find self-regulation or motivational strategies, and is similar to Parker's Strong Is the New Pretty: A Guided Journal for Girls or Carter, Chamblee, Walthall's I Am, I Can, I Will: A Guided Journal of Self-Discovery for Black Girls.
