NORTH: The Confidence Compass: A Parent's Guide to Raising One Heck of a Confidence Kid: 1 - Hardcover
Synopsis
How do you raise a confident child in a world that can feel overwhelming, noisy, and uncertain?
In The Confidence Compass: North for Parents, Tanya Booke offers a powerful and practical parenting guide for building confidence, resilience, emotional intelligence, and self-trust in children.
This is not a book about pushing kids to “be brave” or forcing independence before they are ready. It is a book about helping children grow real confidence from the inside out—through emotional safety, connection, courage, self-esteem, voice, and resilience.
Using the signature Confidence Compass™ framework, Booke helps parents understand how confidence is actually built and how to support children through everyday struggles like:
fear of failure
friendship challenges
anxiety and overwhelm
frustration and big emotions
low self-esteem
speaking up and setting boundaries
learning to try again after setbacks
At the heart of the book are five unforgettable guides called the Confidence Creatures™:
The Lion — self-esteem and inner belief
The Wolf — courage, effort, and trying again
The Owl — wisdom, reflection, and emotional awareness
The Dragon — voice, honesty, and healthy boundaries
The Phoenix — resilience, recovery, and rising after disappointment
Together, these five anchors give parents a simple, memorable way to teach social-emotional skills, strengthen connection, and help children navigate school, sports, friendships, and life with greater confidence.
Inside, you’ll find:
a fresh framework for understanding child confidence
practical parenting tools you can use right away
simple language for coaching kids through hard moments
reflection prompts and real-life application
encouragement for raising confident, emotionally healthy children without perfectionism or pressure
Warm, insightful, and easy to apply, The Confidence Compass: North for Parents is a valuable resource for parents, caregivers, educators, and anyone who wants to help children build the kind of confidence that lasts.
Because confidence is not something children are born with.
It is something they learn to navigate.
And every child deserves a compass.

About the Author
ABOUT THE AUTHORTanya Booke is a parent, writer, and confidence-builder who believes that raising emotionally secure kids matters more than getting everything "right."After years of working with children, families, and leaders, Tanya noticed a common pattern: children don't lose confidence because they lack ability - they lose it when they don't feel safe, understood, or supported through hard moments. Too often, the pressure to perform, behave, or "be okay" outweighs the space to feel, try, and grow.That insight led to the creation of The Confidence Compass and the Confidence Compass(TM) framework - a practical, parent-friendly approach to building confidence from the inside out. The framework focuses on five essential skills: feeling safe and valued, trying again when things are hard, understanding emotions, expressing oneself with courage, and learning to rise after setbacks. To make these skills accessible for children, Tanya brings them to life through the Confidence Creatures(TM) - playful characters that turn big emotional concepts into tools families can actually use.Tanya blends research-informed insight with real-life parenting experience, writing in plain language with honesty and humor. She knows most parents aren't looking for perfection - they're looking for something that works on a tired Tuesday night or in the middle of a meltdown. Above all, she believes confidence is not a personality trait or a prize to be earned, but a skill that grows through connection, consistency, and compassion - for children and parents alike.When she's not writing, Tanya can usually be found navigating the everyday chaos of family life, cheering on small brave moments, and reminding parents (including herself) that showing up with care is more than enough.
