Knowledge is power. When we gain a better understanding of something we’re dealing with, why we may be experiencing emotions that are coming up in response to it and the role we can play in helping ourselves, it gives us awareness and tools, the first things we need to take steps towards change.
eBooks provide a simple, cost-effective way of accessing information and gaining new knowledge and skills to help you in coping in a particular area of your life. It’s like a mini-course on something that provides you with tips as well as evidence-based strategies, that I’ve all pulled together for you from the latest research.

The Confidence Guide
Helping Your School-Aged Child Develop Confidence and Emotional Coping Skills
While schools are preparing our kids academically and doing their best to support the emotional needs of our children, skills for coping with emotions like sadness, anger and worry are not part of the school curriculum. As parents, we may feel ill-equipped at times to help them with their big emotions and the difficult things they say about themselves. What if there was a way to get that information without having to spend hours reading and talking to professionals?
This 30-page guide serves as a tool for parents to better understand some of the challenges children may face with strong emotions and the way they see themselves, while also providing you with information, tips and strategies from the latest research on what actually helps children to develop true confidence in themselves and cope with difficult feelings.
In this eBook, you’ll learn:
-why what we’ve been taught about self-esteem is actually wrong and what truly helps children develop true, lasting confidence in themselves
-how to lean into our discomfort to support kids in feeling seen and understood
-ways to help children develop a growth mindset and how this will serve them in the long run
-techniques to co-regulate with our kids and help them to use their senses and evidence-based body techniques to calm their nervous system when they are activated
-kid-friendly strategies to help them be “kind to their mind” and take some distance from the thoughts that are not serving them
-In addition to information and strategies, I also share a wealth of ideas for fun and creative activities you can do with your child, in the classroom or in your therapy sessions with kids, as well as many wonderful resources (eg. book recommendations, videos, websites, podcasts, etc.) to help you along the way
