Loved this book!
Since children are always learning what they can and can’t do this book is great at illustrating actions that children would typically give up on but they can in fact “Do it!” Another great book to the series!

The best of the series
Unfortunately of all the phrases I hear most from kids, it’s the “I can’t do this” proclamation that saddens me most. It is a direct reflection of what their thoughts are about themselves and their capabilities.
Negative self-talk is rampant in our society. It’s easier to own a victim mindset. But it doesn’t have to be.
It’s not natural to own the skill set needed to deal with self-doubt, frustration, and anxiety. Children need to be taught the coping mechanisms to respond to difficult feelings.
That is what the this book and the series accomplishes. Positive self-talk skills which include mantras are an essential building block for the foundation one needs to flourish and succeed in sports, business, and life.

This is a great series, The Mindful Mantra Series. I've even started incorporating it into my own life. The concept, I mean. This book is what I call a conversation starter. As you and your little one read, you get to talk about how they can handle things better and maybe even you.
Sometimes Jenn feel bad when someone she loves is upset with her. What can she do? She can pretend she doesn't care. She could get mad at them. She can try to say, I'm sorry. She can also try to make things better. She also gets mad when it seems she can't do anything because she is just a kid. She is srong. She is brave. She can also Do many things. I hope you enjoy your time together reading and finding out more about Jenn and yourselves.
.........Happy Reading.

Excellent book about managing emotions
This is an excellent book that teaches children how to manage various emotions and teaches them to be confident in handling different situations. I love the repetition of the themes applied to different emotions and situations and how each scenario ends with “I can handle it.” It was very realistic. I could see my own child’s behavior. Definitely one I will read to him. Great work!

I love this book
Self-doubt is something both kids and adults are faced with often. I love how the author breaks it down in a way for kids to understand how to handle self doubt and to know that they can do it. I highly recommend this book.

Great book for parents and kids
I loved how the story gave both things that would make the situation worse and alternatives that would improve the situation. Such a positive book for kids!

Perfect for 5 year olds!
I read this with my 5year old and he really enjoyed it. It was a great vehicle for talking about the things that upset or frustrate him and how he can handle his feelings.

یک جلد دیگر از مجموعه زمزمههای مثبت ذهنی.
خیلی مضامین تکراری دارد. اگر یک جلد از این مجموعه را بخوانید کافیست. و کلا هم به نظرم مجموعه متوسطی است.
