I loved the way this book gave the child's problem emotion and then the child thought up ways to fix or feel better about the problem. Could see this as a fabulous book on the counselor's bookshelf in any elementary school.

I bought this for my autistic grandson. He is obsessed with this book.
Teresa GazdeckiCustomer
My 5 year old uses the mantra daily, saying, “I can handle it, mommy”. I have since bought 3 more copies for friends and have recommended it to several others.
AnonymousAmazon Customer
Now when my daughter gets frustrated, I can ask her if she can handle it and we think of ways to deal with the situation without throwing a fit.

You’re Not Imagining It. Kids Are Struggling With Hard Things.

It’s not just your child, and it’s not just you. 

Here’s what’s actually going on.

Read More

Mornings, homework, playdates, bedtime…

More and more kids are melting down, giving up quickly, or saying, “I just can’t.”

Maybe you see:

  • “I can’t do it” breakdowns over simple tasks

  • Big feelings over small problems

  • Anxiety about school, friends, or trying anything new

And as the adult who loves them, you feel:

  • Stuck for what to say in the moment

  • Guilty after snapping or shutting them down

  • Worried they’re starting to believe “I can’t handle it” about themselves

Deep down, you know your child is capable.
You just need a simple way to help their inner voice believe that too.
