About This Book
Reach for this book when you hear your child say things like, I am so stupid, or, I can not do anything right. It is a vital tool for children who struggle with perfectionism or a loud inner critic. The story follows Ellie, a young girl who realizes that the meanest person in her life is actually the voice inside her own head. By personifying this voice as an inner bully, the book provides a concrete way for children to externalize their negative thoughts. This approachable story uses relatable school scenarios to teach kids how to replace self-criticism with self-kindness. It is an ideal choice for parents of 5 to 10 year olds who want to build their child's resilience and emotional intelligence.
What Parents Should Know
Sensitive Topics
The book deals with mental health and self-esteem through a secular, direct lens. While the concept of an inner bully is a metaphor, the situations (school, sports, social pressure) are realistic. The resolution is hopeful and empowering, focusing on manageable behavioral changes.
