Tell someone how you feel and deal with emotions. It encourages making new friends and using humour as a way to break the ice. They share personal experiences as examples of how they have coped in their lives which builds a relationship with the reader.

It’s very much like Ant and Dec are talking directly to you throughout the whole book. Recognising where you come from, your culture, sense of belonging and friends. My 8 year old is working hard on learning to regulate his emotions at the moment as it is something he really struggles with and this book is fantastic for using fun activities to promote more positive emotions.

Absolutely love this book. There is a strong focus on learning everything that you do and feel is unique, one of the ways this is portrayed throughout the book is reading what makes everyone else happy and seeing they’re all different things and that there is no right or wrong to what makes you happy. Feeling good about yourself is about focusing on the positive things you have done or experienced and you can celebrate these with the positivity challenge, writing down what makes you proud so that you can look back on this when maybe you are feeling a little negative.

Finally what are your dreams, setting goals, recognising feelings and mood boosters. Coping with anxiety (create a worry jar) and self care both things that are taught in school nowadays but I am glad they are included. I wasn't expecting much from this book but I've been pleasantly surprised by how good it is. Thank you Ant, Dec and Katie Abey for visiting my daughters school for the launch of your book Propa Happy.

I've also read bits of it and it is such a lovely, fun book that makes you laugh and feel happy😊 Full of activities, fun ideas and helpful information to help children find their Propa Happy. Absolutely brilliant book for children, helps to explain things to them in a child friendly way, lots of activities for kids to do to, Well Done Ant and Dec

Would recommend. There is some focus on personalising your own space (bedroom/wall etc) to reflect who you are as a person and making it comfortable for you. This is a nice perspective as children are often told not to argue but learning how to “argue” positively leads to debate and compromise, something we as adults must do sometimes on a daily basis in our lives/careers. Recommended.
