Details
We can all have down days when we just aren’t happy, and it can be difficult to think of good things. These days are important because without them, we wouldn’t appreciate the good days as much. However, if we are having lots of down days and they don’t go away, or lots of days filled with negative thoughts in our head, that is when we need to get to work making new pathways that will leave us feeling better.
This book is all about showing how we can affect how we feel, and ultimately the life we live, by becoming aware of our thoughts and changing them if we need to.
This is a powerful and complex topic that is recommended for kids aged eight years through to teens, and perfect for a lot of us adults too.
"Aroha's Choice supports children (and adults) to understand how our neural pathways can create automatic ways of thinking and behaving. It beautifully explains that if our thinking is holding us back, we have the power and capacity to reform it in ways that uncover our strengths and develop our self-confidence. I would love a world where children recognise when their thinking needs to shift from dis-empowered to empowered, and they knew how to do it. This book is an inspirational start." - Anna Mowat.
Anna Mowat has a background in psychology, and as director of Real Collective, she works across many national projects that support children's wellbeing.
