Handy life skills for all confident kids!

Find out how to be more grown up and take responsibility with this fun guide to becoming a more confident you!

Every day you have to make choices. Part of growing up is making the right choices and taking responsibility for those choices. Taking responsibility helps you to become more independent. It means you can be trusted to do what you say you will do, or what others have asked you to do. Being responsible means others can count on you.

Short comic-strip stories featuring a diverse range of characters show you how to deal with different situations. Sound non-fiction advice will help you to learn the best ways to become more responsible by learning how to plan, think about others' feelings, be helpful, look after your belongings and others', say sorry when you make a mistake, and look after the environment.

The consultant, Sarah Davis, is qualified in child and adolescent psychotherapy and provides counselling support for children, young adults, and parents.

Includes notes for parents and teachers about how to most effectively use the books at home or in the classroom.

The Confident Kids series is perfect for children aged 7-11, teaching important life skills to help them manage their social and emotional health now and in the future. The clear, bright design and light-hearted humorous artwork make these engaging guides to help children boost self-esteem and grow up with confidence.

Titles in the series: Keep Safe; Persevere; Respect Others; Take Responsibility; Understand Emotions; Understand Money

About the Author

Honor Head (Author)

After a few false starts with a model agency and an accountant's, Honor Head's career as a children's writer and editor began when she joined a small publisher producing comics featuring children's television characters. The light bulb clicked on - Honor discovered she loved editing and writing for children - and has been burning brightly ever since. She has now published over 100 books for children on subjects as diverse as kitten care, famous outlaws, ghastly ghosts and totally awesome trucks as well as creating pop-ups, pull-outs and sticker books, and has edited many, many more. Honor now lives beside the seaside in Devon where she has fun helping out at the local museums organising family and school activities - a great way to meet her readers! On sunny days she heads for her favourite seaside cafe to eat cheese toasties and watch the dogs playing on the beach.

Jennifer Jamieson (Illustrator)

Jen Jamieson loves creating quirky, feisty and friendly characters and bringing their wonderful personalities to life. She has a passion for inclusiveness and is a strong advocate for representation in children's books. She loves the idea that we can change the world with the books we create. Jennifer's work is instantly recognisable due to her rich, bright colour palette, quirky patterns and detailed textures. Her two young children provide her with endless inspiration for her work.
