Grow Your Mind – Boost Your Brain by Alice Harman
Help children, aged 7 plus, boost their brains! This book is packed with fun and varied ways for children to improve concentration, positivity, confidence and mental wellbeing in a way that works for them.
Grow your Mind is a series of books that explore how we develop a ‘Growth Mindset’ – when children believe they can get smarter, they understand that effort makes them stronger and then the extra time and effort they put in can lead to higher achievement, confidence and self-satisfaction. Written in consultation with Katherine Muncaster, a leading headteacher who has implemented a renowned growth mindset programme in her school, this is a must have for any school, or parent, with wellbeing on their agenda.
Part of a series of 8 titles: Ask for Help, Boost Your Brain, Build Resilience, Don’t Panic, Face Your Fears, Make Mistakes, Think Positive, Work Smarter.
