Meet Kate! She’s an active kid who loves school and sports, but she often faces situations that make her feel anxious or discouraged. Whether it’s a tricky math problem, a sports setback, or a friendship hurdle, Kate realizes that her biggest obstacle isn't the problem itself—it’s how she thinks about it.
In "My Strong Mind," Niels van Hove introduces young readers to the power of a Growth Mindset. Through Kate’s relatable daily adventures, children learn how to develop mental toughness and resilience. Instead of giving up when things get tough, Kate learns to use "positive self-talk" to coach herself through her fears and frustrations.
★★★★★ "A counselor recommended I get this for my daughter, and it is indeed a story that encourages and also validates my daughter with her struggles. It's perfect that character struggles with getting ready for school on time, as that's one of my daughter's greatest challenges right now, despite a set routine checklist and other tools and strategies we've tried. This has been another tool to help my daughter. Illustrations are cute and plot and tone is not sentimental or didactic, which makes it a good story to connect with children and to read again and again."
