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

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.

Tilda's world is just as she likes it - until, one day, it turns
completely upside down! From the bestselling Big Bright Feelings
series by Tom Percival Be open, be honest, be you! Big Bright
Feelings for little people. Tilda's world is just as she likes it .
. . until one day, it turns completely UPSIDE DOWN. All of a
sudden, everything is topsy-turvy, and nothing feels right. Things
that were once easy now seem incredibly challenging. Can Tilda
discover a new way to approach her problems and believe in herself?
Bold, bright and empowering, this is an inspiring story about
coping with difficult situations. It's the ideal book for helping
children to build resilience and embrace a 'can do' approach to
life. Tom Percival's Big Bright Feelings series is the perfect
springboard for conversations about mental and emotional health,
positive self-image, building self-confidence and managing
feelings. Every child's bookshelf should contain his books.
In the margins of a book's pages, sparks fly as a teenage romance
begins. But in this time and place, sparks like these can only
ignite trouble. It's 1994 and thanks to Section 28, there can be no
mention of gay relationships in UK schools. When a kind librarian
leads Jamie to a disguised novel in the library that reflects his
own confused feelings towards boys, Jamie sees that he's not the
only one who has checked the book out. Will Jamie and this mystery
boy have the courage to meet - and if they do, what will it take to
hold on to each other?
