The Friend I Need - Garcia, Gabi

. .

Résumé :
Making mistakes and getting things wrong is part of life, but negative self-talk doesn't have to be. We teach children how to be good friends to others, but what about teaching them to be good friends to themselves? It's just as important for children to learn to be caring toward themselves, especially when they face setbacks. The Friend I Need helps children learn to treat themselves with the same understanding they'd offer a friend when they're having a tough time. Readers will learn kind self-talk and supportive practices to use when things don't turn out as they wanted. When children are compassionate to themselves after a challenging situation it helps them become more resilient and helps build a growth mindset. The Friend I Need is a beautiful addition to your home or school social-emotional library! It is part of the Growing Hearts & Minds picture book series that supports children in developing a caring and compassionate understanding of themselves and their emotions. (Available in Spanish as La Amistad Que Necesito.)...
