How does your brain work, and what does it have to do with moods? Why do you sometimes feel anxious, cross or afraid, and what can you do about it? How can breathing, looking at a snowglobe, or changing what the voice inside you says, help you feel better?
When we tell ourselves negative stories – like “I’m not good at maths” – it becomes harder to learn. But if we can change our mindset – “I’m not good at maths yet” – we help our brains to learn.
Mighty Mindsets puts together mindsets, mindfulness and neuroscience in a gentle self-care manual for young readers. With calming and playful illustrations by Carol Betera, Mighty Mindsets helps children understand their emotions and learn tips to take care of their mental health.

Explained for children, but also entertaining enough for an adult to read. I liked the real life examples of optimism, perseverance, and resilience."
