My Brilliant, Resilient Mind: How to Ditch Negative Thinking and Handle Hard Things Better (Capable Kiddos) Hardcover – Picture Book, August 22, 2023

This book is great. Pretty intense concept for littles. But explained it in a really simple way. Reframing thoughts is hard for even adults! I wish I’d had this book years ago! This whole set is great!

My Brilliant, Resilient Mind is a fantastic, kid-friendly book that explains negative thinking patterns in a way children can easily understand and relate to. I love how it not only helps kids recognize when they’re stuck in unhelpful thoughts but also gives simple, practical strategies for overcoming them. I’ve read it several times with my 9- and 12-year-old, and we often use its ideas to reflect and reset when I notice them caught in negative thinking. Highly recommended for families looking to build resilience and emotional awareness together!

Wonderful children book!

Great book! Worth the read. Highly recommend.

GOOD GUIDANCE!

This book is amazing for all ages! It teaches insight and how to recognize what is healthy versus unhealthy thinking. Great, great read!

The Capable Kiddos series teaches many important life lessons in clear (and entertaining) ways for young and adult readers. MY BRILLIANT, RESILIENT MIND is the third book in the series (but each book is a stand-alone too). I love how it encourages children to 'think about thinking'. The illustrations by Katie Dwyer are always so creative and communicate emotions so well. The story follows twins who are stuck in their thoughts and by seeing their choices creating shifts, we learn to shift our own thinking. Plus, there's excellent back matter. Once again, you can tell that this story is written by a professional therapist sharing her expertise in such a relatable, comprehensible way.

This is the cutest children’s book.
