The bestselling series “My Strong Mind” by Niels Van Hove is now available in Turkish!

Research shows that mentally tough children perform up to 25% better in exams. They sleep better, are more engaged in the classroom, and have higher aspirations. They also transition more successfully from junior to secondary education, perceive less bullying, and are less likely to adopt anti-social behaviour.

The My Strong Mind book series are the first children’s books that educate parents and children around the scientifically validated 4 Cs of mental toughness:

Commitment: I set goals and work hard to deliver them
Control: I am pro-active and keep my emotions in check
Confidence: I believe in my abilities and stand my ground
Challenge: I stretch myself and learn from everything

This series aspires to educate children and parents about mental toughness and open a positive dialogue on the subject.

What readers are saying:

★★★★★ “We used this with our child who was experiencing problems in school. We saw some immediate impacts from reading it regularly and using the language present in the book.”

★★★★★ “A must read for any child but in particular for those who are struggling with the challenges of growing up. It communicates the principles of how to be psychologically hardy and resilient under any stressor situation. My Strong Mind could be read alone, by a teacher in a classroom for group discussion and by a parent when reading to their child. I highly recommend it.”

The Turkish edition of the adorable “Heart & Mind” series by Nishi Singhal will be released shortly!

“Heart & Mind” by Nishi Singhal is a unique series that introduces mindfulness to the little ones and opens the door to rich conversations about thinking, feeling, and balancing both.

The underlying message for children is to combine “heartfulness” with “mindfulness”. The whimsical illustrations and the story keep you there in the magical world of the present. A must read for all ages, especially in such a fast paced world!

★★★★★ “I love this book so much. The author does a beautiful job of telling a story about flow and alignment, using beautiful images and simple characters of the heart and mind. The concepts not only resonated for my kids, but were such a great reminder for me of how good it feels to release the reigns of the mind (all the thinking and planning and needing to get just right…) and align with your true self/ heart/ inner being. We can effort our way through the day all we want; and we can flow and surrender a bit to see where the day takes us as well. Very thankful we get to have this in our collection. Looking forward to more from the author!”

★★★★★ “If I could give more than five stars I would! An excellent book!”

★★★★★ “An amazing description of how the Heart and Mind work together! Beautiful pictures too.”
