As Aroha says, 'Thoughts are not facts, they are just words in my head.' Our brains are like supercomputers that help us make sense of the world we live in. They help us think, learn, and do all sorts of amazing things. In this story, Aroha learns that she can create pathways in her brain to lead her to different outcomes. It is all about what thoughts she chooses to focus on. The more we practise noticing our thoughts and ensuring we have plenty of good ones, the stronger these pathways will become. Pathways that we create using good thoughts will lead us to a happier and more content life. We can all have down days when we just aren't happy, and it can be difficult to think of good things. These days are important because without them, we wouldn't appreciate the good days as much. However, if we are having lots of down days and they don't go away, or lots of days filled with negative thoughts in our head, that is when we need to get to work making new pathways that will leave us feeling better. This book is all about showing how we can affect how we feel and ultimately the life we live by becoming aware of our thoughts and changing them if we need to. "Aroha's Choice supports children (and adults) to understand how our neural pathways can create automatic ways of thinking and behaving. It beautifully explains that if our thinking is holding us back, we have the power and capacity to reform it in ways that uncover our strengths and develop our self-confidence. I would love a world where children recognise when their thinking needs to shift from disempowered to empowered, and they knew how to do it. This book is an inspirational start." - Anna Mowat has a background in psychology, and as director of Real Collective, she works across many national projects that support children's wellbeing.

This book will pair up perfectly with the #1 best-selling and award-winning book, How Do I Feel? A Dictionary of Emotions by Rebekah Lipp and Craig Phillips.We all experience emotions. Big ones, small ones, joyous one and uncomfortable ones. Each emotion is simply energy that travels through us. When they do, they are trying to give us a message to help us. Never feel bad about experiencing an emotion. All emotions are healthy and normal. It is what you do with the emotions that is important. You can learn more about yourself and what you need through the messages that emotions provide us.When an emotion comes to visit us, sometimes it can feel overwhelming. Certain emotions can make us react in ways that we might regret. We might say something we don't mean. We might lash out at someone when we don't actually want to hurt them. Sometimes they bubble up and can feel like they are about to burst out of us. It can be hard to know what to do when we are feeling intense emotions inside. This is why it is a great idea to learn ways to release emotions safely from our bodies, so we don't end up hurting ourselves or others.Emotions are energy that flows into our bodies and should flow back out again. This book is all about ways to allow emotional energy to flow out in healthy and safe ways that you can try. See which ones you like best and work for you.Recipient of a 2022 Contestable Fund Grant from Copyright Licensing New Zealand.⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ "As a parent educator I am always looking for tools and ideas that can help parents and kids with understanding and accepting big feelings.

This is one of the biggest gifts we can give to our kids, and this book is a fantastic way to give kids resources and ideas for managing their feelings. It just might even help us as adults too!" - Genevieve Muir, Connected Parenting
