Love Yourself(ie): Life Lessons for Building Kid Charisma

Love Yourself(ie), Life Lessons for Building Kid Charisma(TM) is a book to help preteens, ages 9 to 13, prevent social media use from deflating self-worth. Although navigating friendships, belonging, self-image and bullying has long been part of growing up, social media makes the experience public - and it is leaving preteens feeling left out and insecure. Love Yourself(ie) is a short fictional story about a young girl, named Harper, who learns to use self-acceptance to filter social media and manage peer pressure and competition. With a focus on teaching what we think of ourselves matters most and 'how' to use self-acceptance to keep others from influencing bad feelings and behaviors, Love Yourself(ie) is a highly relatable story kids see themselves in, with a practical perspective and advice they can use to understand what they're feeling and become more confident and true to themselves - on social media and in life.
