—Skill-based parenting tools—
created by a licensed mental health counselor for real world parenting
The Seven Skills collection is built around a simple idea: the qualities children need most—like emotional regulation, kindness, and resilience—don’t develop automatically. They are skills that must be intentionally taught, practiced, and reinforced over time. To support families in doing that, the collection includes two closely connected resources: a clear, skill-based parenting guide that lays the foundation for these ideas, and a story-based kindness coloring book that helps children experience and practice those same skills in a way that feels natural, engaging, and shared.
Raising Emotionally Strong Kids is a practical, story-driven guide for parents who want more than quick fixes or short-lived parenting trends.
Through seven clearly defined life skills, Jonathan Maletz walks readers through the everyday moments where real growth happens—tantrums and setbacks, sibling conflict, courage, kindness, and persistence. Each chapter blends clinical insight with relatable family stories and concrete strategies parents can use immediately.
Warm, honest, and encouraging, Raising Emotionally Strong Kids helps parents raise children who can regulate emotions, build healthy relationships, face challenges with resilience, and grow into confident, compassionate adults.

Kindness grows in everyday moments—often through simple, shared experiences like coloring, talking, and spending time together.
The Kindness Coloring Book pairs playful coloring pages with gentle, familiar stories about sharing, including others, and trying again. Simple prompts invite natural conversation, turning coloring time into meaningful connection—no pressure, just enjoyment.
As children color each page, the stories gradually become their own. What begins as a coloring book often becomes a favorite storybook you create together—personal, joyful, and worth returning to.
Designed for ages 3–8, The Kindness Coloring Book helps children learn through play, where creativity, conversation, and together-time quietly support the growth of kindness.

“Raising Emotionally Strong Kids is the rare parenting book that feels both reassuring and genuinely useful, offering a clear path for raising kids who can feel big feelings without being ruled by them. Mr. Maletz writes in an easy, engaging voice with memorable stories and just the right amount of humor. As a midwife, I especially value how this approach honors the whole child and the whole family.
