Overview

Me & Mrs. C is a warm, beautifully illustrated story that helps young children understand The Crucial Cs—Connect, Capable, Count, and Courage. Through simple moments with Mrs. C, the child narrator discovers what it means to make friends, learn new skills, help others, and try hard things, even when they feel unsure.

The Crucial Cs are based on the work of Alfred Adler and Rudolf Dreikurs. Adler believed the first 5 years of a child’s life were the most formative. This book was created to present The Crucial Cs to children during these important years.

Description

Each page shows how everyday experiences—sharing toys, matching socks, climbing the big slide, or teaching someone something new—help children feel connected, capable, needed, and brave. The story ends by showing that every child already has all four of the Crucial Cs inside them.

This gentle, encouraging book is perfect for parents, educators, counselors, and anyone who wants to help children grow with confidence and kindness.
