The Friend I Need: Kind & Caring Self-Care (Growing Heart & Minds)

Being a kid can be tough at times, and the pressures they experience are very real. Unfortunately, this can lead to negative self-talk when they make mistakes or when their emotions are heightened. However, it doesn't have to be this way. While most children have been taught how to be good friends to others, they may not have learned how to be good friends to themselves. The Friend I Need helps children understand that they can offer themselves the same qualities they look for in a friend—kindness, support, and understanding—especially when they're going through a tough time. By learning to be a friend to themselves, children can develop emotional resilience, a growth mindset, and overall well-being. This book is a valuable addition to any home or school's social-emotional library. The Friend I Need is part of the Growing Hearts & Minds picture book series, which aims to support children in cultivating a caring and compassionate understanding of themselves and their emotions. (Also available in Spanish as La Amistad Que Necesito.)
