Overview
Be Confident Be You is a practical, encouraging paperback guide from Collins, written by children's therapist and life coach Becky Goddard-Hill. Designed for teens aged 11 and up, it breaks confidence-building down into simple, actionable steps rooted in the idea that thoughts and actions are the two things every teen can truly control. With relatable exercises, honest advice, and a warm, non-judgemental tone, it's a supportive companion for any young person navigating the ups and downs of adolescence and self-esteem.
About the Book
Being a teenager brings unique challenges, from friendship fallouts and school pressure to the constant comparison of social media. Be Confident Be You meets these head-on with a message that feels genuinely empowering: change your thoughts, and you change your world. Rather than vague encouragement, the book offers concrete tools including positive self-talk techniques, building a personal "coping kit" for tough moments, strategies for facing fears, and ways to stay motivated when confidence dips. Each idea is explained alongside accessible psychology, so readers understand not just what to do but why it works. Activities are flexible by design, suitable for quiet solo reflection or for sharing with family and friends, so every teen can find an approach that fits their own personality. The 192-page paperback is structured in short, digestible sections ideal for readers who might otherwise find self-help books overwhelming. It pairs naturally with Becky Goddard-Hill's companion title, Be Happy Be You. Parents, teachers, and gift-buyers looking for a meaningful, non-preachy resource will find this a genuinely useful addition to a teen's bookshelf, whether for a birthday, a new school year, or simply a quiet nudge of support.
