Reviews

Jenny Palmer, Author of Feel a Little. – “Aroha’s Way is a beautiful, descriptive and relatable book helping children to normalise, understand and even develop their own tools for dealing with their feelings.”

Dr Hinemoa Elder, MBChB, FRANZCP, PhD – “An exquisitely moving read.  This book will help empower our tamariki mokopuna.”

Jimi Hunt – “In order to change our culture of greatly increasing mental illness, we need to tell stories and this is one of those stories.  Beautifully told and illustrated, it is another tool in the education of our young people in how to deal with emotions and increase their mental fitness.”

Dr Suzanne Henwood, mBraining4Success – “This is a beautifully illustrated and cleverly written book to help children find a way back to calm.”

 

Never underestimate the power positive praise can have on a child. Giving positive praise to our children helps to reinforce behaviours, builds self confidence and self-esteem. When you praise your child, you are showing them how they can see themselves in a positive light, helping them to recognise when they have done well.
