At first glance, these books look like ordinary stories sitting quietly on a shelf. But do not be fooled. They are actually highly classified self‑help missions for kids, cleverly disguised as adventures. If books could wear trench coats and sunglasses, these ones absolutely would.

Parenting can feel like navigating a maze where the walls keep moving, someone is crying, and you’re holding a cold cup of coffee you don’t remember making. Sometimes the maze even catches fire, the floor turns to lava, and you’re suddenly in a hostage negotiation over which colour cup is acceptable today.

My mission is to hand you the tools, maps, and metaphorical fire extinguisher you need to build a calmer, lower‑stress family life and to help your child to find comfort and excel. These science‑backed, story‑powered books help kids understand their brains, build resilience, and handle big feelings without needing a 47‑step lecture or a PowerPoint presentation. By blending psychology, neuroscience, and humour, complex ideas magically transform into practical tools kids can actually use in real life. Think of them as learning resources disguised as fun, like vegetables hidden in spaghetti sauce, except tastier and far less suspicious.

These guides are suitable for children aged 6 to 12 (support is highly recommended, especially for younger children), they help kids explore feelings, mindset, confidence, and even psychology, neuroscience, and biochemistry in a child-friendly  way. They’re especially helpful for neurodivergent thinkers, big feelers, and any child who has ever melted into a puddle because their sock “felt wrong.” The goal is simple: make learning accessible, empowering, and genuinely fun.

.Inside each book you’ll find challenges, quizzes, certificates, and collector cards designed to motivate even the most reluctant learners, including the ones who would rather reorganise their sock drawer than read anything “educational.” These stories act like kryptonite for chaos and superfuel for family life, helping children understand emotions, build strong mindsets, and develop the kind of resilience that makes school, friendships, and life feel a whole lot easier.

They’re especially powerful for deeply feeling children, those that study with dysregulated, and the “I’d rather lick a cactus than do worksheets” personalities. Instead of long lectures or tedious bookwork, children get fun, simple learning adventures that sneak the skills in while they’re busy enjoying themselves.

The Steps to Success series gives children and their grown‑ups the superpower of understanding their own nervous system. Emotional regulation tools, mindset strategies, and evidence‑based learning are woven through every page, wrapped in humour, heart, and just enough silliness to keep everyone reading. Pair them with the Superpower your Parenting Guides for Ultimate Results.
