Description
My school day looks more like a prison sentence. There's a maths test later, and I'm rubbish at maths. I've even left my English homework on the kitchen table and that means trouble with Mr Tinns.
School can be a difficult and stressful place for a child, and sometimes they just need a little bit of help to manage it all. That's where Arty comes in. He's an inner coach, here to help each child achieve their very best.
Offering children a creative way of helping to manage their own worries, Arty will help show children that they're not alone in their struggles and that they always have choices, even when stuff happens that they don't like. With practical guidance for parents and teachers on how to use the book and specific coaching activities, it is perfect for children aged 8-12, especially those who have a fear of failure.

Reviews / Votes
Using an engaging story that many children will be able to relate to and comic-style artwork, Super Coach Arty vs. The Shadow provides a range of accessible and useful advice and tips to help the reader control their fears and believe in themselves as well as giving parents important insights on how to support their children through their worries. -- Kate Collins-Donnelly, author of the 'Starving the Gremlin' and 'Banish Your Thief' series This would be an excellent choice for anyone buying for a child prone to fear. In my view, it should be in all primary schools and every library catering for young readers, and I found much in it to use in my counselling practice with youngsters in secondary school. -- BACP, Children, Young People, & FamiliesMore details
