Be Cool, Be You: A Child's Guide to Making Friends

This activity book is for children aged 7–11 years

It’s full of great information, fun activities and top tips to help your child build their confidence and social skills to make lasting friendships

Does your child appear unhappy or lonely at school?

Perhaps they have a tendency to think negatively and doubt themselves?

Do they worry about what other children think about them?

These could be signs that your child is struggling to make friends.

This practical guide combines proven cognitive behavioural therapy and mindfulness methods with simple activities to help your child grow their self-confidence. It’s aimed at children aged 7–11 because a lot happens in these years that can impact a child’s emotional well-being, not just now but for years to come.

Your child will be guided, with the help of Blip – a friendly and supportive character they can identify with – through fun and engaging activities which are interspersed with useful tips, inspirational statements and practical information for parents and carers.
