Super Coach Arty vs. The Shadow cover

Introducing Arty, an inner coach to help children aged 8-12 manage negative thinking and improve their self-esteem

Meet Arty. He's a super coach, here to help you achieve your very best. Giving the guidance you need for issues like your upcoming maths test, to dealing with the mean kids on the playground, there's nothing Arty can't help you with. Ideal for helping children manage their thoughts and improve their self-esteem.

My school day looks more like a prison sentence. There's a maths test later, and I'm rubbish at maths. I've even left my English homework on the kitchen table and that means trouble with Mr Tinns.

School can be a difficult and stressful place for a child, and sometimes they just need a little bit of help to manage it all. That's where Arty comes in. He's an inner coach, here to help each child achieve their very best.

Offering children a creative way of helping to manage their own worries, Arty will help show children that they're not alone in their struggles and that they always have choices, even when stuff happens that they don't like. With practical guidance for parents and teachers on how to use the book and specific coaching activities, it is perfect for children aged 8-12, especially those who have a fear of failure.

Using an engaging story that many children will be able to relate to and comic-style artwork, Super Coach Arty vs. The Shadow provides a range of accessible and useful advice and tips to help the reader control their fears and believe in themselves as well as giving parents important insights on how to support their children through their worries. -- Kate Collins-Donnelly, author of the 'Starving the Gremlin' and 'Banish Your Thief' series
This would be an excellent choice for anyone buying for a child prone to fear. In my view, it should be in all primary schools and every library catering for young readers, and I found much in it to use in my counselling practice with youngsters in secondary school. -- BACP, Children, Young People, & Families
