Join Madeleine as she learns how to take control of her thinking and turn her thoughts into a powerful, positive, can-do mindset which paves her way to confidence and success. Suggested activities included for parents, teachers and carers to use together with their children to develop a positive self-esteem. Teacher and Life-Coach Cathy Domoney introduces children and parents to the power of regaining control over their inner-dialogue and transforming it in to a powerful mindset which sets them up for success. Children are facing increasing pressures and challenges both in their school and social lives. 'The Magic Is Inside You,' helps children to regain control over negative self-talk and begin to program their mind for inner confidence and success. Exclusive to this impressive publication is a user-friendly resource section which can be used by parents, teachers and professionals alike to further explore the book, its message and the important issues within it. "In this gorgeous and important book, 'The Magic Is Inside You,' Author Cathy Domoney and illustrator Karen Davis provide the words and the visuals for something that all young children experience –positive and negative thoughts and emotions. Young children often do not have the language skills to express how they are feeling and this is where I always think a quality book comes into play. Books such as ‘The Magic Is Inside You,’ provide children with the words to express themselves and they shine a mirror on situations or emotions that they may be experiencing. Everyone wants to see their life reflected in literature – to know they are not alone, to know that someone else understands." Megan Daly @ childrensbooksdaily.com

"Cathy has made such a difference in our lives! She has coached our teenage son and I have seen his thinking change from unmotivated, angry, and lost; to motivated and happy, with a stronger sense of identity and high goals. We have seen psychologists in the past but Cathy has helped him change his way of thinking much faster than they ever did. I can’t rave enough about this extraordinary woman!"

"I think you replaced our daughter with an alien! She is a completely different child. She is calmer and thinks about what she wants to say before she speaks. She is making better choices and has been sleeping a lot better. Jane says she has made new friends from the school that she never had spoken to in the schoolyard before because she has the confidence to approach people. She has had no signs of self-harming or anti-depressants for two months now, all thanks to working with Cathy. Thank you, Cathy, I can not tell you how much we appreciate what you did for Jane. Her grandmother called tonight and made a comment about how she could hear a smile in her voice for the first time in years."
