In today’s rapidly changing world, it’s more important than ever to equip children with
a strong foundation of essential life skills. The best way to set up children for success and happiness is to empower them with key life skills early on in life - particularly skills that build their emotional and social intelligence.
Research shows that children's brains are malleable, making it easy for them to learn new skills. This is when a child’s brain has the highest neuroplasticity and the optimal ability to learn new things. It means the best time to learn these skills is in early childhood.
This is the driving force behind the new “Mini and Milo” series, which explores essential life skills in a fun, engaging and colourful way. I believe that every child in this world deserves the right to learn these life skills.
Each story has a hidden message, exploring crucial life skills such as self-worth, managing conflict, problem-solving, competitiveness and active listening. And the best part? Children will be having so much fun, they won’t even know that they’re learning … but their savvy parents will!
The "Mini & Milo" life skills series follow the adventures of Mini (the elephant!) and her best friend Milo, (a bunny rabbit!) teaching children conflict management, resilience and building emotional and social intelligence.
The "Mini & Milo" books are available in bookstores, online and through the Publisher, Walker Books Australia.
