The Magic Is Inside You : Powerful & Positive Mindset For Confident Children (Positive Mindset For Kids Book 1) Kindle Edition

Positive and uplifting very good for self esteem!

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.

Kudos to the author for writing such an empowering book for children! My 8 year old daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the book. The character has to wrestle with the negative and positive voices in her head (like we all do), so the story is relatable and I love the message she shares: trusting in yourself is the only way to find your true voice. I also appreciate that this book is real and lets the reader know that we all will always have that negative voice, but it is our choice if we want to listen to it or not. The illustrations are magical and creative and I am hoping the author writes more inspirational books like this for kids! The book also includes several activities and discussions to engage with your children which is so helpful. Great work Cathy Domoney! :)

I think it is a good book but I'm put off because it starts at the end...I had to read it starting with the last page and turn pages to the beginning..

Just as the title suggests, this lovely book explores the theme of self-talk - the good or the bad voice (or our private evaluation of our own performance) which goes on inside our minds. This story gives the main character, Madaleine the opportunity to choose between either one or the other, with the encouragement and support of her mother. The book's richly illustrated pictures and subtle story-telling melded perfectly to make a charming story of how to listen to the right voice. It's the sort of book too, that you'd want to pick up and re-read over and over.

The author Cathy Domoney has shared such a great, powerful and much needed message for kids who deal with lack of self confidence. The characters are brought to life. Cathy has done a phenomenal job dulling and drowning the negative voices children often dialogue with internally and bringing up the positive voices that requires encouragement and praise.The illustrations are lovely and this book is an easy and comprehensible read for children. The activities and suggestions Cathy has offered for adults to help children improve their self esteem is invaluable.I highly recommend this book.

I got this book for my 8 year old son which has in the past been through a tough bullying situation that caused anxiety and some depression. He just wouldn't know how to deal with his emotions at times and Ive purchased a few different books similar to these and this one is a free counseling book for them. It helps them feel stronger its been great help for us. I do recommend it.

This is a wonderful book, as not only did I enjoy the story, but the activities in the back of the guide are invaluable. This is definitely one of those books the parent needs to read with their child, and if your child has self-esteem issues then it is imperative to go through the activities. Doing so will help your children to overcome negative feelings, remind them of their strengths, and overall help them achieve their goals by believing in themselves.

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

Great book but my daughter unfortunately was scared of some of the drawings in there shame but I think it is beautiful book! If your child is not so sensitive it will be great or maybe my daughter will grow to like it when she is a bit older

This book is amazing it makes you feel confident and let's you know your friends and family are there for you and that's you say shoosh to the bad thought and listen to the good ones

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.
