Children want to be the best they can be. They want to know how to succeed and become super amazing at anything they put their minds to. When I was 7, like now at 9, I loved reading. I also love listening to Mum’s guiding advice, but I wanted to be able to read it too, and learn from some of the best, most successful people in the world. I think a lot with this mind of mine. So for Christmas I asked my Mum for a book on “how to be the best”. “That is inspirational, Nathan! How to be the best at what?” she asked. I looked back a little baffled. She is great at understanding me, but I didn’t mean the best at one specific thing, but how to be the best at life. I wanted a book on how to be the best you can be. Always sure to encourage and guide me, she was happy at the thought of providing another opportunity for positive growth and healthy self-development. But there was nothing. Not one single book out there. Can you believe that? No comprehensive guidance for children on how to grow into the best, happiest, most successful versions of themselves. No children’s books on how to enjoy life, how to cope when the going gets tough, how to succeed and achieve the things you want in life, or how to manage big emotions. I know I certainly needed this. I’m a go-getter, with great drive and ambition, and I know so many other young people out there are too. Tell me one person that doesn’t want to be the best they can be. Who wants to settle for a grown up life of boring mundanities, broken dreams, disappointments and set-backs because of undeveloped skills, missed opportunities and poor coping? That sounds like the opposite of the life I want. People often say that children see the world differently, that we dream about futures without the limits and lenses that adults wear. But if we are ever going to get there we need the right support and guidance. We need tools and strategies and solid foundations from which we can grow and develop. We are all unique, we are all brimming with potential - and this make us exceptional. So instead of learning how to fit in we need to be taught how to become the best, truest versions of ourselves. When we learn to do this we can live life to the fullest and be happy and successful. That was why I wanted a book on it. And when I couldn’t find one, that is why I wrote one. Be Your Best Self is being released in September.
Opportunities that EVERY parent would want for their child. Positive and practical, Be Your Best Self empowers children to be happy, confident and become the best versions of themselves. Categories All

My daughter is able to read out most of the books her level with minor guidance on some words that can’t be sounded out. I couldn’t stop her! It’s amazing to see her read and be so confident about it too! I was completely blown away. After a week from starting the reading program: https://abundantify.com/rhs she can spell 3-letter words on her own and not from memory.
