Customer Reviews & Opinions
Excellent book helps kids understand their own self-esteem
My daughter found this book at school and requested it so many times that I finally bought it for her. Basically it introduces cognitive behavior therapy in a friendly way that kids can understand.It takes all those tangled up thoughts that run through a persons head about how one feels about oneself and calls that “the monster.” The monster wants to eat away your self esteem until you are very small and he is very big. He gets fed when you believe the lies that he whispers to you “You’re no good” “you’re dumb” “she doesn’t really like you”. So set aside a day and try all day to avoid feeding the monster. if he whispers bad things to you, tell him “STOP” and tell yourself something nice instead. If the monster doesn’t get fed, he grows smaller.
I highly recommend this book to kids and adults who feel like they are always doing the wrong thing and feeling really down about themselves.
DON’T FEED THE MONSTER!
Must have for working thru Self Esteem Issues
bought this series to help my out of control 5 year old to gain some emotional control. We have used all the books in the series and I am amazed the strides that we have made in the last two years since I purchased this series! Yes all kids have various problems but these books cover the real life scenarios that kids might encounter in words that they can understand. I would give this series 10 Stars if it was possible!Lifesavers for sure!
Amazing Book!
I can’t get over how incredible this book is! I was excited by the titles and reviews but wasn’t sure how it would be received by my kids. They were rivoted by the book (my intonations helped a bitand as soon as we finished we did some great role-playing of what makes the monster grow and shrink. I’m so happy - what a great tool to refer to in our everyday conversations! THANK YOU authors!
Excellent book for child low self esteem
This has been great for a child with Autism struggling with self esteem issues. The kids like pointing out when the other is “feeding the monster” with their words or actions. It came highly recommended to me and I share the feeling!
Don’t Feed the Monster on Tuesday!
This book was the first we learned about in this series and it’s terrific! Excellent book(s) for children and families dealing with anger-management and strong emotions. It’s a great book children can read on their own, have it read to them as well as an excellent book for families to read together. A must have book and must have series!
