What’s the scariest thing to a child? Often, it isn't a monster under the bed; it’s the fear of being "bad" at something new.
In "I Will Try," the latest empowering addition to Laurie Wright’s Mindful Mantras series, we meet Seb as he stands at the edge of a daunting new challenge. Whether it’s a tricky puzzle, a new sport, or a difficult school assignment, the urge to quit before even starting is a feeling every child (and adult!) understands. But Seb has a secret weapon: a simple, three-word mantra that shifts the focus from the outcome to the effort.
Laurie Wright provides children with a practical roadmap to navigate the "fear of the unknown." By repeating "I will try," kids learn that the magic isn't in getting it right the first time; it’s in the courage to begin.
★★★★★ "Awesome little book for talking about your feelings. My 7 year old step daughter has anxiety and perfectionist issues. We got this for her and she loves it. Some of the feeling words are a little big, but we were able to discuss the meanings and give examples. It’s good for any child that doesn’t want to try new things for one reason or another."
★★★★★ "As a retired preschool teacher I would have loved this book for the children who came through our centre. As a Nana, it is perfect for teaching these skills to our grandchildren and children. Had a good laugh with our grandson about the craziest suggestions and then he picked of the three choices which might work best. Sometimes it was all and we discussed those too. We laughed, we discussed, and in the end it gave him some things to think about. We both enjoyed the book, so it was a success and would definitely recommend it as a good purchase."
