<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>The Voices in my Head</em> </strong>is a chance for children (and their carers) to learn to feel okay about themselves even when things go wrong, even when they feel stupid or when they compare themselves to others. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p><strong><em>The Voices in My Head </em></strong>has a unique approach to helping children understand the critical and compassionate voices 'inside their head'. It offers the opportunity for children (and their carers) to learn how to feel okay about themselves, even when things go wrong. </em>Young readers see how differently the two powerfully illustrated 'voices', <strong><em>Crusher </em></strong>(critical voice) and <strong><em>Booster</em></strong> (compassionate voice) respond to everyday difficulties the children may encounter. </p><p><strong>This debut children's book by best-selling author Kathryn Lovewell, is great fun to read, using comical expressions <em>("Arrgggh" I worry,"Flipperdeedear"!), </em>rhyming text and wonderful characters and illustrations to engage its young readers, while delivering it's all-important message. The author is passionate about helping its readers (aged 6-99!) to develop self-kindness and self-compassion, which are pivotal to well-being and happiness.</strong></p><p><strong><em>The Voices in My Head </em></strong>guides children and parents alike to learn to pay attention to the kind voice in their head, so that they can feel safe and confident in who they are. By<strong> </strong>l<strong>etting <em>Booster </em>be the clearest, strongest voice inside their heads, they can feel happy in their own skin. </strong></p><p><strong>A colouring book is also available!</strong></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br><p><em>"A charming and useful book tackling difficult thoughts and feelings with refreshing frankness and understanding."</em></p><p><strong>Stephen Fry</strong></p><p>Comedian, Actor, Writer, Presenter</p><p>President of the mental health charity - <em>Mind</em></p><p><br></p><p><em>"A delightful exploration of self-compassion for kids and parents alike."</em></p><p><strong>Dr. Chris Willard</strong></p><p>Author of AlphaBreaths & Growing Up Mindful </p><p>Faculty at Harvard Medical School</p><p><br></p><p><em>"The Voices in our Heads is a delightful book, dealing imaginatively with the internal voices that appear uninvited in all our minds to critique us. Lovewell has honed a complex concept into simple language for children (and adults) to understand and share. Helping children identify these voices and recognise that they can choose which voice to listen to is invaluable. Lovewell's creative storytelling and Hayne's winning images will engage young children everywhere." </em></p><p><strong>Karen Bluth PhD. </strong></p><p>Asst.Prof.of Psychiatry UNC</p><p>Author of The Self-Compassionate Teen</p><p><br></p><p><em>"This is a charming book, with a simple, yet vital, message that children and adults alike should take to heart. We teach children to be kind to others, but we rarely teach children to be kind to themselves. This book will help children develop their self-compassion and may even encourage the adults in their lives to do the same!" </em></p><p><strong>Lauretta Barrow</strong></p><p>Working mother of 3 fabulous boys!</p><p><br></p><p><em>"It is a book about the choices you make and finding voices inside than can help you or unhelp you." </em></p><p><strong>Alexander</strong>, age 7</p><p><br></p><p><em>"Kathryn's book is a massive triumph that enlightens the minds of young children." </em></p><p><strong>Ben</strong>, age 10</p><p><br></p><p><em>"My husband and I have found this inspiring and beautifully illustrated book to be a gentle, yet powerful, communication tool. The Crusher has provided us with a language to speak to our children about the critical voice that shows up in difficult situations. The Booster has enabled them to identify their compassionate voice that is also available within themselves. Most importantly, this book has helped our children to recognise they have choice about which voice they listen to."</em></p><p><strong>Julia Sweetman</strong></p><p>Certified Mindful Self-Compassion Teacher</p><p>Mum of 8-year-old twins</p><p><br></p><br>
