In this empowering and uplifting story about mindset based on tools found in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, brother and sister twins learn how to be resilient in the face of challenges, all by using their thoughts!
Join them as they work through life’s ups and downs by recognizing negative thought patterns, reframing their thoughts into more helpful ones, gaining perspective, and bouncing back from hardship. In sharing this book with your own children, students or clients, they will understand how to harness the power of thinking to handle stressors better, help themselves through difficulty, and improve their lives!
“We need more books that highlight resilience for children! As a clinician who works with young children experiencing complex trauma, I love having this book as a tangible resource.
My Brilliant, Resilient Mind is a must-have! It’s a beautiful and playful story to help children learn how to get through tough times and tap into their resiliency.”
—Christine Mark-Griffin, LCSW, author of the EMDR Workbook for Kids
“As those who work with children know, SEL is quite the buzzword, yet many schools do not have the resources to support explicit teaching and coaching. This book is a must-have for every parent, caregiver, and educator, especially in our current climate.
My Brilliant, Resilient Mind does not sugarcoat the negative thoughts and pressures that we all face, which helps kids find themselves and their experiences in the text. This book is a fabulous way to show children the power of self-reflection and mindfulness. Add this to your shelf—you will not regret it!”
—Jake Daggett, educator and advocate
“
My Brilliant, Resilient Mind illustrates the power of embracing a positive, flexible mindset through the story of a set of twins going through a tough time. The two children learn how to shift their thinking in order to gain perspective and find happiness. I especially appreciate how this title teaches young readers about different unhelpful thinking patterns, or cognitive distortions, as well as actionable ways to reframe them—what a valuable skill to learn at a young age!”
—Elizabeth (The Kid Lit Mama)
