Your Mind Matters: Your Emotions

Aimed at young tweens, this book will help you to understand your feelings and develop good mental health.

How are you feeling today? Positive emotions can make us feel that the world is a wonderful place, but feeling sad, angry and hopeless can make us think the opposite is true. As we get older we learn how different experiences affect us and become more skilled in managing negative emotions and expressing our feelings. This book will help you to understand your emotions so that you can make good decisions that will shape your behaviour and allow you to build strong relationships with the people around you. There are hints and tips on quick ways to improve your emotional health that you can try every day or whenever you need to.

About the Author

After a few false starts with a model agency and an accountant's, Honor Head's career as a children's writer and editor began when she joined a small publisher producing comics featuring children's television characters. The light bulb clicked on - Honor discovered she loved editing and writing for children - and has been burning brightly ever since. She has now published over 100 books for children on subjects as diverse as kitten care, famous outlaws, ghastly ghosts and totally awesome trucks as well as creating pop-ups, pull-outs and sticker books, and has edited many, many more.

Honor now lives beside the seaside in Devon where she has fun helping out at the local museums organising family and school activities - a great way to meet her readers! On sunny days she heads for her favourite seaside cafe to eat cheese toasties and watch the dogs playing on the beach.
