Who Is It For …

Kingdom of your Mind has been written primarily for children aged 6 - 13 who are struggling with their thoughts and emotions. Feelings of anxiety are created by a sense of being out of control of the world around you. This applies now more than ever. In children, especially, it is often accompanied by a fear of the imminent future and what may happen in new and different circumstances. These fears coupled with the wonderful imagination that children have can cause great distress. It is frightening and exhausting for the person experiencing it and incredibly upsetting if you are watching someone that you love struggle but you don’t know how to help them.

The visualisation and method within the book can be used by children anytime, anywhere and provides them with a different way of looking at their mind. This gives them a sense of ownership and empowerment. This in turn helps them to feel more in control of their world and life. It is a method that they can use and carry with them for the rest of their lives.

The loveliest book I’ve ever read
— Lena 9 year old reader - Hertfordshire

Kingdom has not only been written to help the child that is having anxious thoughts and feelings but also to create a point of reference for their parent or carer to open up conversation around their emotions.

Getting children to talk when they are locked in a cycle of anxiety can be very challenging. Kingdom provides a way of discussing the child’s thoughts and well being without being too pressurised. Every copy comes with a letter containing hints and tips for the adult to use in order to promote conversation.

I have no doubt that this will have a significant and positive impact on young people’s lives.
— Head Teacher - Hertfordshire

Whilst initially written for children the book can also be of benefit to anyone that has trouble feeling as though they don’t own their mind and what goes on within it. It provides a method that has been used with equal success by bigger people and adults who may also be feeling that their mind has taken on a bit of life of it’s own!

Every now and again we have days where it feels like our big adult bodies are just carrying around the smaller child version of ourselves inside. It’s days like this when Kingdom would be a perfect world to escape in to.

You are not alone if ..

Life sometimes feels overwhelming and you want to hide under a big fat duvet with a doughnut.

You are not alone if ..

Something mean that someone said to you ages ago is still going round and round in your head and you can’t make it stop.

You are not alone if ..

You feel as though, somedays you just don’t have the power inside of you to do the things that you need to do to be the awesome person that you are.

You are also not alone if ..

You thought you were the only person to feel these things ….. You’re not.

I promise.

I feel them too and I’m pretty sure a whole heap of other people do as well.

Why This Book Was Written ..

Kingdom was written because, through my work as a Psychological Coach and previous volunteering for the Samaritans, it became increasingly apparent to me that so many issues that people face as adults are created in childhood.

This may well sound like a glaringly obvious statement and you might, at this point quite rightly, be questioning my professional ability if that is the best pearl of wisdom that I can come up with but bear with me. You see I’m not talking about the more dramatic childhood traumas that some people so sadly face. I’m talking about the seemingly innocuous events that can weave their way in to the fabric of a child’s being without anyone really even noticing. The small statements that people can make to you as a child that churn round and round in your mind until they are as much a part of your self identity as the colour of your eyes.

The teacher that told you you were clumsy and in everyone’s way.

Your friend who told you that when you smile you look ugly and your face goes weird.

The time that one of your parents told you that they wished that you were more like your brother or sister.

Just a few examples of countless passing comments that we are faced with as children. Things said in a heartbeat but potentially words that swirl round and round in your mind for days to come until they settle down and stay for the duration.

Kingdom has been written to help children to learn that they have ownership of their mind and that when these things are said or events happen that are beyond their control they have the power to manage them.

It is a method that can be used on the spot wherever they are and provides them with a coping strategy that can be used throughout the rest of their life. I have used the strategy to great effect with not only my 3 children but also with my clients and myself. If you get a chance to sneak the book off for a quick read or, even better, read it with your child I highly recommend it!

We still have our small selves living inside of us. It’s never too late to help them out.

It’s About Helping Others as Well

I wanted to ensure that, not only does this book help its readers, but also a wider support network for children’s emotional health. It is for this reason that, through the book, I have chosen to support the wonderful work of the Young Minds charity.

Young Minds is an organisation that works tirelessly to help support and strengthen the emotional wellbeing of children and young adults alike. The work that they do very much goes towards ensuring children’s minds are supported and empowered no matter what challenges they face. It is because of this that it felt very important that a percentage from the sale of the book went towards helping them in this vital work.

For every copy that you buy you will not only be supporting your own child but also the many other children that Young Minds support. Click the image below to learn more about their fabulous work.

And that’s not all ….

As well as the financial support to Young Minds we also operate a scheme where we aim to visit as many schools as possible. The purpose of these visits is to spread the power that a sense of ownership of their mind can contribute towards emotional wellbeing.

This is achieved by providing schools with a workshop that is structured around the principle of the book and provides children with coping strategies that they can use day after day.

The plan is to visit as many schools and children’s centres as possible around the country. If you think that this may be of interest to your school or organisation then please do use the contact button below to get in touch. We would love to chat to you.
