Simply brilliant! A great introduction for children, to explore their feelings and understand which ones are good and which ones might need some extra help. Together with suggested coping strategies and a section for grown-ups, complimented by some bright and bold illustrations. A must for all young people!

To be honest I hadn’t really considered discussing mental health strategies with my 6 year old but when I saw this in a bookshop I thought it included lots of valuable lessons, stuff I needed reminding of as an adult!

Excellent book. I read it with my child who was having some difficulties in school with feeling isolated with her friends and it really helped her understand her feelings.

This is a great book about positive self-image and dealing with emotions & relationships. It helped me start the conversation with my mum about my feelings and she helped me to understand how can I sort some problems at school. The book is lovely designed and easily explain the main issues children deal with every day. I will recommend this book to my friends and my teacher at school.

Really good way to get talking with my daughter about how she feels and to let her know it’s ok if she’s not ‘happy happy happy’ all the time.

I actually came across this book in a charity shop. I was looking for something to help my little girl regulate emotions and understand why she feels the way she does. We have recently had a death in the family, so this book came to my rescue helping to explain to her in a child friendly way of finding coping mechanisms to help aid her with these emotions. It really helped me to! Highly recommended! ????????????????????

The importance of children’s Mental Health has been hitting the mainstream of societal concerns. The importance in developing positive mental health strategies is now being seen by parents, carers, educators and health care practitioners as a basic life skill. But, sometimes we can find it hard to explain to children what positive mental health is all about.
Molly Potter has created an amazing book that breaks down positive mental health into its different aspects in a child friendly way. Each chapter focuses on a different area of positive mental health in terms that are not over simplified but in a way that helps children grasp mental health concepts that can support them for life. Each two paged chapter is beautifully illustrated by Sarah Jennings and opens up discussions between parent/carer/educator that allows children to learn more about what is happening inside their head in 12 individualised areas. Everything from, “How should I think about myself? to “What do I do with emotions?” to How can I improve my thinking habits?” are a part of this book. Finally, there is a three page section on “Guidance for parents and carers” that provides tips for supporting positive mental health and help develop resilience.
This is definitely a book every home and school should have and use to support the development of positive mental health in children.

A brilliant self read for any child. My 7 year old daughter really enjoyed reading and discussing these real life scenarios and relating them to her life.
This is a must have for any parent or child practitioner too. Brilliantly written and essential for the well-being of every child today.
