THE ULTIMATE SELF-CARE BOOK FOR TEENAGE GIRLS Face up to the world
with confidence and higher self-esteem Growing up has become
faster, more furious and the pressures more intense. Anxiety and
panic have reached epidemic proportions. A third of teenage girls
will suffer from depression. Factor in a rise in self-harm and
eating disorders and the mental health stats become alarming. It's
time to equip young women with the means to fight back. A Girl's
Guide to Being Fearless unlocks self-esteem, confidence, wellbeing,
resilience and offers an antidote to an overwhelming world of
altered photos, filters, and fillers. A Girl's Guide helps parents,
girls, and teachers understand that wellbeing is an inside job. As
an essential book for our time, this guide reflects the challenging
world facing teens. The authors suggest there is little to be
gained by asking girls to stop taking selfies or using Instagram
filters, because these habits are ingrained in teenage culture.
Instead, guidance is provided on how girls can take action to
increase their confidence and love the skin they are in. Moreover,
it's about learning to be a class act in person and online.
Practical exercises and doable ideas to inspire young women
Encouragement to eliminate self-limiting beliefs Guidance for girls
on lifting themselves and others up Tips for showing greater
confidence and being excited about the future Suggestions for how
to live your best life Keep calm and read A Girl's Guide to Being
Fearless, a gathering of life's cheat codes; all simple, do-able
and hugely entertaining. Learn how to show anxiety the door and let
in more of the good stuff. This book will help you find your Brave.
Whisper it quietly, but it might even change your life.

Every cloud has a silver lining... doesn't it? Anna is thirteen
years old, lives in London with her father, and has Asperger's
syndrome. When her father dies, she moves to Scotland to live with
her estranged, reclusive mother. With little support to help her
fit in, she must use every coping strategy her father taught her -
especially her 'Happy Game' - as she tries to connect with her
mother, discover her past, and deal with the challenges of being
thrown into a brand new life along the way. Eleanor H. Porter's
'Pollyanna' re-imagined for a new generation.
"Breakfast on Mars and 37 Other Delectable Essays "will inspire
students to think differently about the much-feared assignment in
elementary and middle schools around the country: essay
writing.
Rebecca Stern's fifth-grade students were bored to death with
essay writing, and the one thing Rebecca needed to inspire
them--great examples appropriate for kids--was nowhere to be found.
Inspired by a challenge, Rebecca joined forces with her friend,
social entrepreneur Brad Wolfe, and the two came up with a terrific
proposal--to gather together a collection of unconventional essays
by some of the best writers around. They have compiled and edited a
collection of imaginative, rule-breaking, and untraditional essays
that is sure to change the way you think about the essay.
