This colourful, engaging, gender neutral story, introduces the reader to a child overwhelmed with all of life’s choices. Should they sit with their friends or befriend someone new? Should they share what they know or keep it to themselves? Should they listen to their heart or follow the crowd?

Written with honesty and a clear youth voice, I Just Can’t Decide!:

  • looks at the challenge of making choices
  • champions the courage to make your own choices
  • promotes listening to your heart, intuition and body, in addition to your mind
  • teaches children about conscious behaviour and self-reflection
  • explores ideas of integrity, values and right action
  • ends with a mindful reflection, to help children explore and be with their feelings.

This book is essential reading for teachers, parents, or anyone working with children, who wishes to empower young people to make good choices, with sensitivity and self-awareness.
