Ayaan and the Camel was written to coach children who do not believe in themselves to learn how to re-write their hold-me-back beliefs so that nothing stands in their way. Our core beliefs can be formed as early as age 7 and are stored at an unconscious level, directing our behaviour for ever more. When a child is coached to understand beliefs and is allowed to examine the truth of them, they can quite easily re-write their hold-me-back beliefs so that they are then free to get on with their Big dreams. Consider this story if you have noticed your child does not believe in their own abilities and they can't hear praise from others. You may also have noticed a lack of confidence in your own abilities and are quickly deciding some things are just not for you (could be subjects, sports, friendships).When a child has low self-belief, they could be self-sabotaging so that they fail before they even try or say things like, "I would like to go, but..." "I am not musical/sporty/clever/arty enough.Wise for My Size, Ayaan and the Camel, is part of a wider coaching programme for parents and children.

They could be feeling the world feels too busy, noisy, or smelly or that they need their world to be more whizzy and twirly.As a parent, you may be noticing that going out and about and joining in everyday events is becoming more problematic for your child and that you are having to plan a lot more and make more accommodations to make sure days out, playdates or supermarket shops are going smoothly. You may have noticed that your child is bouncing around and not doing as you asked. Being very specific about foods, smells, and tastes. Needing labels cut out of clothes. Your child might be saying, "I don't like it!" "It's too loud and noisy. "I don't want to go!" This book is a metaphor for explaining sensory preferences. Everyone experiences the world through their senses in their own unique way. Little Flower was overwhelmed by her surroundings, but the other flowers could not understand how Little Flower felt, as they enjoyed the feeling of the sun, the rain, and the wind. Little Flower could not thrive until Cass changed her environment to one that suited her needs better.Please meet our 4 Sensory Preference Personas.

I-Can't-Harry was written to coach children who do not believe in their abilities or speak unkindly to themselves, learn to boost their self-confidence by quietening the mean things they say about themselves (shade-talk) and turning up the volume of their kind words (shine-talk), to face life with confidence and a can-do mindset.Consider this book if you feel worried and frustrated that your child is hard on themselves and speaks negatively about themselves and their abilities. You may have noticed that your child tends to compare themselves to others or live in the 'shadow' of more outgoing friends. As a parent, you are worried that this lack of overall confidence in themselves will result in your child not reaching their full potential.When a child uses negative self-talk, you may hear them say, "I can't spell," "Everyone can do this; I will never be able to!" "He is so amazing; why can't I do that?" "I hate my hair!". Or they may go quiet, avoid situations or activities, and withdraw or stop trying things.Harry was a boy who believed that he couldn't do much. The more he thought he couldn't, the more he said he couldn't, and the more he felt he couldn't. So that was what he became known as; 'I-Can't-Harry.' This book was written to coach children who speak negatively about themselves and believe that they can't learn that changing what they say to themselves means that they can do anything they dream of.

When a child is worried about trying new things, they may cry or get angry when you talk about it, or you might hear them say, "I've never done this before.""I feel sick and don't want to go/do it/try it/be here.""I don't know how to do it."Wise for My Size, Ntombi's Path, is part of a wider coaching program for parents and children.
