We bought My Brain Is a Home and My Brain First Aid. We absolutely love these books and I especially love hearing our kids stories from their days at school—how they talk themselves down from stressful situations now, how they say nice things to build their confidence, how they help their friends with the tools they’ve learned from these books. When my youngest misses a shot on net he says, “at least I took the shot!” And My Brain First Aid has helped teach us how to come back to center when everything has fallen apart, or how to prevent it from coming to that point. VERY worth it and I’ll be keeping these in our library for years to come, Also, its fascinating learning different parts of the brain, their uses and how they work together. Thank you!
Great information presented in away that lets kids know they’re intelligent.
nicely done
My kids loved this book and I bought it for my 8year old to help prep her for an operation she was very worried about it. It really helped her with techniques to get through those worries - highly recommend!

Great for kids. Highly recommend.
Brilliant books, beautifully illustrated and thoughtfully written, with useful tips at the back
Lovely book, really enjoyed it with my son
Simple messages to and for children to look after
their brains where cognition and emotional control takes place.
I'm so glad these books are available! My 4 and 7 year olds responded really well - it was easy for them to understand and conceptualize a little bit of how their brains can work! Honestly, it's helpful for adults too!
My five year old loves the entire set. When her three year old brother started crying in the car she started coaching him through the feelings by saying "Its amygdala barking and this is a one or a two on the problem scale... let's breathe together". I was amazed at how quickly she picked up the concepts.
I read this book to my 6 year old son and we are adopting the first aid for your brain into our entire household! CBT at a young age is so vital nowadays. Highly recommend.
This is a nice tool. Would really love to use with our young kids in french. I would love to buy the set in new brunswick, canada
I love this collection ! I am a soon-to-be mom and special ed working with kids, and I wish I could order a french version for us in Québec, Canada :)
For any age the suggestions in this book about ways to take care of ourselves are so easy to remember and do. A great resource to dive into when you need a little reminder.
The book is well written and beautifully presented.
Need the first aid kit full of tools as a t-shirt!
I ordered "My Brain First Aid "!!! Soooo GOOD. Thank you for creating such a wonderful resource for anyone and everyone!!
