Most parents want the very best for their children—and they’re willing to work incredibly hard to provide it. We invest time, energy, money, and love, hoping to give our kids every advantage possible.
And yet, something surprising often gets overlooked.
Many well-intentioned parents focus on what children have—experiences, activities, opportunities—while missing what children need most: inner strength. The ability to manage big emotions. The courage to try again after failing. The kindness to care about others. The confidence to speak up, connect, and persevere when life gets hard.
These qualities don’t magically appear with age. They must be taught, modeled, and practiced—day by day, in the middle of ordinary family life.
That’s the heart of the Seven Skills collection.
Created by parent and licensed mental health counselor Jonathan Maletz, these books and resources are designed to help parents pass these essential skills on to their children—clearly, practically, and with hope.
Below you’ll find the titles currently available—each one focused on building the inner strengths that matter most, and helping parents give their children the best gift of all: a strong foundation for life.
Raising Emotionally Strong Kids is a practical, story-driven guide for parents who want more than quick fixes or 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 real counseling 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, form healthy relationships, face challenges with resilience, and grow into confident, compassionate adults. You can read a sample here:
Kindness grows in everyday moments—often through simple things 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. Easy prompts invite natural conversation, turning coloring time into connection time—no pressure, just fun.
As children color each page, the stories become their own. What starts as a coloring book often turns into a favorite storybook that you made together—personal, joyful, and worth revisiting.
Designed for ages 3–8, The Kindness Coloring Book makes learning feel like play—where fun and creativity help kindness grow along the way.
