Being Your Own Best Friend

Book 1 of the YAHOO (You Always Have Other Options),Feel Good Series. The information in this child-friendly book is based on the latest developments in neuro-science. It is designed to give children the knowledge and tools they need to help them to become their own best friend. Through the use of positive self-talk and body awareness, 'Being Your Own Best Friend' provides tools and strategies to help develop self confidence and a positive mental attitude. The children become the illustrator of this book by drawing in the picture frames provided. As well as personalizing the book and being a wonderful keep-sake, the child's illustrations provide a great insight into the way he/she is processing the information being presented as well as providing the opportunity to reinforce the concepts that help to develop a positive mental attitude and self-image. They are great. To my knowledge nothing exists that presents the comprehensive coverage of research knowledge in a form so accessible to children and parents. ....Certainly, they meet a great need in the promotion of wellbeing area for children and adolescents. ...Well done on such a great idea and on the good and useful books you have produced.
