Support a project that helps children develop self-esteem and face challenges such as anxiety and fears. I need your help to publish the 2 books and to release the songs.
Hi, I'm Tânia and I created a collection of children's books that help children develop self-esteem and deal with issues such as anxiety , fears , bullying , excessive cell phone use and much more. At the end of each book there are activities, such as self-analysis charts to fill in, meditations, breathing exercises, among others, so that children can explore and understand these issues together with their parents and teachers. In addition, I have a musical project that reinforces these same messages. In order for these two books and songs to reach our children, I need your support.
I need your support to fund the publication of these two books and the release of the songs , which will benefit not only children, but also parents and educators who want to offer emotional support and encourage self-confidence from an early age.
About the author

Believes that children are the basis for transformation towards a more balanced world.
My work with children arises from my story
As a child, my biggest challenge was my fears. I was afraid of everything: the dark, shadows, what I imagined was in the dark, being alone... All of this affected me immensely. I started to stutter and suffer from anxiety.
Whenever I shared my feelings with adults, their attempts to help didn't work. They told me to forget about it, distract myself, go back to sleep, and that it would all go away. This not only increased my insecurity, but I also felt that they were belittling my fears.
I grew up as an anxious child (and later teenager), with a lack of self-esteem and confidence.
Over time, I looked for everything that could help me and became interested in various creative and self-development areas that, little by little, led me to overcome my blocks.
Although I chose to pursue a career in Architecture, I never pursued it. I felt more fulfilled in work related to children: I taught music, tutored, was a children's entertainer, among many other activities.
All my experience led me to recognize that I felt very comfortable working with children and had a natural gift for listening to and understanding them. Because I had a similar story, in a simple and intuitive way, I was truly able to help children recognize their fears and overcome them.
When I discovered meditation and yoga, I realized that I had found tools to help young people overcome their fears, through greater self-confidence, self-respect and self-knowledge.
I ended up combining other tools (some that I already had and others that I acquired) and created my own methodology that includes yoga, meditation, mindfulness and children's coaching.
I had finally discovered something that really helps children and teenagers. But I didn't stop there. I quickly realized that if I wanted to help more children, I needed to include everyone involved in their education: parents and teachers. Through sessions, lectures and training.
I intend to use these books and songs to help children, giving them other perspectives and tools so that they can overcome their challenges.
