Dear Reader,
By now, you’re getting pretty good at taking care of
yourself. You eat your veggies and brush your teeth.
You try to get exercise and rest. Even now, you’re
building habits you’ll use all your life to care for your
body, keep it strong, and be your healthiest you.
Did you know that your mind can use a little care and
keeping, too? Of course, your brain benefits from
all the ways you keep your body healthy. But having
a few good mental habits can also help a girl have a
happier life—a life with lots of meaning and joy.
This book is full of information that will help you
understand your developing mind and brain. It’s also
full of simple tips and fun activities to help you nur-
ture your mind just the way you’ve begun to care for
your physical self. We hope that learning these habits
makes it easier for you to feel connected to the peo-
ple in your life, stay focused on what really matters,
and bounce back quickly when things don’t go right.
We hope it helps you feel calm and content inside—
no matter how crazy things get on the outside.
Your friends at American Girl
