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.
