Kayla: a Modern-Day Princess Activity Book

Our world is very loud and growing louder all the time. This activity book is designed to help kids develop a growth mindset and a positive identity about themselves. A mentally healthy mindset can help address anxious and stressful thoughts and feelings.

The activity book includes:

• Over 50 coping skills woven throughout the book,
• More than 25 beautifully illustrated coloring sheets,
• Helpful therapeutic messages for kids,
• Motivational mindset techniques to address stress,
• And more than one dozen growth mindset worksheets.

Kids can read this book on their own, or they can work through it with a family member or another trusted adult. This book is a meaningful and fun time capsule children can save and look back on as they dream and grow. The entire Kayla series is inspired by the life of Broadway Star Kayla Pecchioni. It can be gifted with books from the series, but this helpful guide also stands alone as a fun way for children to learn about themselves and the world around them.
