Self-help bookfor kidsgoes toschools

- Marc McLean

Schools across South Lanarkshir­e are set for awesomenes­s after being delivered a copy of the world’s best ever personal developmen­t book for kids.

More than 700 ‘Diary of a Brilliant Kid: Top Secret Guide to Awesomenes­s’ books have been delivered to schools across Scotland, including a host of schools in South Lanarkshir­e.

Based on the science of positive psychology, Diary of a Brilliant Kid is an interactiv­e collection of science, stories, theories, top tips, quotes (and occasional mayhem).

Co-authored by Gavin Oattes, Andy Cope and Will Hussey, the book is packaged so that children can learn to take charge of their own wellbeing and includes activity pages allowing ‘tweenagers’ to add their own input and drawings.

Gavin, who is also managing director of Scotland-based company Tree of Knowledge and an internatio­nal keynote speaker, said: “The book is all about positive psychology for kids, but it has the right balance between being funny, cheeky and informativ­e with all the right messages to help kids navigate life and find their own awesomenes­s.

“I hope youngsters, their teachers and parents across South Lanarkshir­e will enjoy it and benefit from it.”

Tree of Knowledge is based in Dunfermlin­e and runs education and corporate courses and workshops around the UK.
