The Magic Is Inside You: Powerful & Positive Thinking For Confident Kids: 1 (Positive Mindset For Kids)

What a lovely book, I read it to my step-daughter whose 6 years old and I have done so now 5 nights in a row because she keeps asking for it! In all honesty I read it properly the first time and then have tweaked/adjusted it every time after to discretely relate to her personal issues! Help her feel her "Maddy". Now she undertand's if she's feeling low or afraid it's Midge whose talking and how she has to learn to be kind to herself and be her own Maddy. I promise this will make sense when you read it! It is really cool and I'm so glad I bought this book. I gather it is a concept being brought into schools as well to empower children, I can see how it works.

A very beautiful, powerful and deep meaning book. Me and my daughter went through this when it came and it was such an emotional but wonderful moment... what a perfect way to bond and to shed light on these issues and she keeps this book with her now and says that she wants to keep it forever... Parenting doesn't come with a manual and sometimes it is hard to understand that sometimes it is ok to be sad and this is how we deal with it.. I feel it adds a sense of security as well as enforcing that unconditional love, thank you x

Loved reading this story with my daughter. A simple yet creative way of making your child believe in themselves.

This is a beautifully written and illustrated book. Young people will easily relate to the main character and I am sure many will feel utter relief as they discover that other people also feel the way that they do. It is a both a wonderful stand alone story and also a poweful tool to use to help with self esteem and confidence building in young people. It is a superb introduction for children to start to understand that they are in control of their thoughts and emotions. This realisation is incredibly empowering for the reader and along with Maddy, they will discover that the magic is also inside them.

This is a lovely short story that can be read together with a young child as a starting point for a conversation around confidence, self esteem and a healthy mindset. The illustrations are beautiful and create a book which is well suited to sharing with my youngest, age 7. The message is a positive one, which even adults could do with remembering! The techniques and tips at the end of the book are interesting and I can see that these would be used widely, both my parents and in schools, and perhaps also with a wider age range of children.

This is a beautiful story with a great message for all ages. As a parent I see my children struggle with confidence and self esteem and I believe that this book can be used as a tool to help children and adults work together to develop a positive thinking mindset. I particularly love the tips and strategies for teachers and parents. It’s has great ideas for starting a conversation with your children and flipping those pesky negative thoughts into positive ones. I know I will be reading this with my children over and over again.

What a wonderful book to read with your children. This book gives the readers young and old so many ideas & practical thoughts on how to deal with they way we feel inside. It gives children some beautiful words to use to describe how they feel enabling them to explain their inner voice to those they need to share it with. Would recommend this book to any parent, grand parent or teacher such a gorgeous book.

A simple narrative with an insightful message that could be used for any adult working with any child who needs help finding what's good in their life. Some helpful tips at the end of the book suggest ways to connect the story to some of the challenges in your young persons life.

Book is well written and definitely a great guide for young kids to build up confidence and self esteem. Great

This is a great book and is significant for three reasons: 1) It is a wonderful story with beautiful illustrations, that children (and adults) can relate to and understand. Even my 15 year old who is keen to look forward to adulthood thought it was a worthwhile read. 2) Cathy Domoney has used simple therapeutic devices to help children build their ability to solve their own issues when they feel that their internal negative voice is getting the upper hand. The story can also be used as a great anchor for parents to subtly remind their children if they forget. As a trained Narrative Psychologist, I work in similar ways with adults. 3) Finally, Ms Domoney has given parents a wealth of great strategies at the rear of the book to help reinforce confidence, self-esteem, and self-reliance in children. These internalised concepts empower children to live happy and productive lives and empower parents by knowing they are contributing to their child's well being with simple steps. I thoroughly recommend this book as a great story and as a positive tool in kids' lives.

We all have the magic inside us to listen to our inner voices that uplift us rather than bring us down. This is a beautifully illustrated story of a young girls journey discovering how to do just that! It even comes with helpful tips at the end to help any child do just that!

'The magic is inside you' is a story children of all ages from toddlers to teens can relate to & draw inspiration from. A story that can be read again & again. What really makes this book stand out though is after the story ends the author has included a vast range of ideas & ways to support & encourage children with some excellent information & suggestions, which will help build on from the story. This is not a book to just read & put back on the shelf, it really does encourage everyone who reads it to find the happiness & confidence within themselves & people around them.

Book is good but i thought that this book would be good for my 10 years old daughter but it turned out that the book is good kids younger than 10 years old. It has more pictures than story.
