Description

"Appealing, practical write-in book guaranteed to help children develop confidence" - LoveReading4Kids

This beautifully illustrated full-color activity book has been specially designed to help children build their inner confidence, with activities and exercises devised by childhood development expert Dr. Katie O'Connell.

Many children feel nervous or shy when faced with unusual surroundings or stressful situations. Find Your Confidence is filled helpful strategies to guide children through these difficulties and build inner confidence. While some activities include write-in sections, many happen off the page - whether it is dancing, breathing exercises, or making a comic book. These fun projects offer a chance for children to explore, express, and explain their emotions in a safe, no-pressure way.

All the activities inside have been devised by child clinical psychologist Dr. Katie O'Connell; so they are perfect for parents, caregivers, teachers, therapists, and youth leaders who want to help children.

Includes:
- Make and decorate a worry box
- Draw your feelings
- Create a comic book
- Learn to say no

Featuring the charming full-color watercolor illustrations by Stef Murphy, this book will build resilience, increase inner calm, and encourage positivity.

Perfect for children aged 6+.
