Finding My Magic is an animated series of 4 short stories featuring three young friends – Catherine, Tom and Kate – who attend the same school. The local store-keeper, a wise man named Mench, offers practical advice and teaches Catherine the power of a ‘magic box’ and ‘me messages’. Catherine teaches others so when they each face challenges, they use the power of self-talk to develop confidence and persistence to overcome obstacles.

This series provides a language and a device (the magic box) to assist children in developing essential skills for their emotional well-being. Each child will make or be given a small white box to personalise and use as their “Magic box” for “me messages”.

Finding My Magic has 4 short episodes with identifiable engaging characters and stories, offer a springboard for discussions about recognising negative self-talk and changing it. The success of positive self-talk is demonstrated clearly as we see Catherine, Kate and Tom overcome obstacles and achieve goals.

DVD with 4 episodes, trailer and  PDF Guide for Teachers on disk.
