This week only–Gifts to Fill Yourself and Your Child with Love!

Hello Friends,

Happy early Valentine’s Day! Yes, I know it’s a Hallmark holiday, but it reminds us to love one another—and that’s a good thing! And as a self-compassion teacher, I’m here to remind you to love yourself, and also help children in your life love themselves, too.

Which brings me to my two Valentine’s Day gifts for you.

My First Valentine’s Day Gift for You—Just this week!

For the next week, you can purchase my Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Workbook for Kids, Volume 1 eBook for only $1.99 (this is almost 90% off)! How can an ebook be helpful? With the Kindle App on your phone or tablet, you could view the beautiful comics, notes, and activities from volume 1 of my workbook anywhere you are! The workbook is great for your inner child, and also for real kids! Kids (and you) will enjoy looking at the playful comics through the Kindle App on your phone, and they won’t even know they are learning Mindful Self-Compassion! You can talk through the activities in the book together while you’re waiting in a long line at the store, or before your child plays a game. Here are a couple of screenshots from my phone of the land of mindfulness and the table of contents that you can use to navigate the book:

You can also download a free Kindle viewer for your computer to go through the workbook together on a full-sized device. Do I recommend a paper copy of the book? Yes. But a digital ebook is great, too, and for only $1.99 this week, you can have some playful mindful self-compassion at your fingertips whenever you like! It’s a great way to love yourself and your child!

Next week the price goes back to its regular $16.99 for an ebook, so be sure to order for $1.99 this week (the week of February 14).

2nd Valentine’s Day Gift

And there’s more! I know, I sound a little like a commercial, but I’m seriously super excited about sharing playful mindful self-compassion lessons! If you buy a copy of the book—either digital or paper, and you reply to this email with a picture or screenshot of the Mindfulness and Self-Compassion Workbook for Kids, Volume 1 (paper copy or digital), you will receive one month free paid subscription to my Substack! If you’re already a paid subscriber, I’ll add an additional month to your membership. This will give you extra perks like a monthly gathering with me as well as personal emails with videos that are just for paid subscribers. I had so much fun with my gathering of paid subscribers yesterday. We adults are actually going through the workbook together, and we have great conversations while we do it!

Get one month of paid subscriber perks for free for the month of February / early March if you email a picture or screenshot of your book to [email protected].

Kids at Fratney Elementary say, “Thank you!”

Also, the kids at Fratney and I would like to say a big, THANK YOU to those of you who donated copies of the workbook for kids at Fratney Elementary. I visited the school just before Christmas, and there were so many joyful fourth and fifth graders proudly holding copies of the workbook. There were kids asking for books for their little brothers and sisters as well. Here’s a picture of some kids holding copies of the books and also a short audio of a couple of kids saying, “Thank you!”

Books 

Starting this week (Valentine’s Day!) I will be volunteering with the fifth graders at Fratney on Fridays. Last year, I led them through volume 1 of the workbook using a combination of digital resources and downloadable pages (this is how the workbook is used in school). And this year, I will be guiding them through the activities from volume 2. I’m still making edits to the second volume of the book, and the kids at Fratney will undoubtedly give me wonderful feedback on workbook 2 (they get excited when I give a good lesson and stop paying attention if they are bored!). I’ll share about workbook 2, including select activities from the book, as the Jan. 2026 release date approaches.

Later this week I will be sharing a short video with my paid subscribers about one of my current parenting challenges. Remember, if you reply to this email with a picture of your workbook (digital or paper), you can be a part of the inner circle with whom I share how I use self-compassion in my day-to-day parenting challenges.

P.S. My older daughter let me help her get ready for another school dance. I feel honored that she trusts me and still lets me into the inner circle of her life.
