strengthen your child’s resilience so they can bounce back from set backs faster
 
What do parents say after working with me?
 “I was at my wits’ end. My son had become sad and withdrawn. I couldn’t figure out why. All he wanted to do was play Fortnite. Simon gave me a process to work through and although there were some hiccups along the way, Josh is now a much happier little boy and wants to spend more time us. The process and limiting his time online has really worked.” Gemma
 
 “My husband and I had been through a nasty divorce and our eldest was really struggling coming to terms with that. She’d also been having friendship issues at her new school. Simon showed me how to show her how take her mind off the past and focus on her dancing and writing. She’s now a lot more positive and is attracting new friends because she’s so much nicer to be around. Absolutely delighted.” Hannah
 
“My son was struggling with perfectionism and I couldn’t get through to him. Simon helped me get over my frustration with the situation and communicate way better with him. The difference is palpable. He’s calmer and coming to me with his challenges so we can overcome together.” Andrew

What do children say?
“I can feel more confident about swimming myself and motivate myself more. I can picture myself being a professional swimmer. Finally if anyone wants to hurt me I can block them out. Thank you for making me believe in myself.” Lauren, 10
 
“I can put other people’s opinions behind me and just get on with my dream and write a lot of books. And that’s how I can become an author.” Lindsey, 10
 
“I can do things I couldn’t do before because I can be a lot more confident in what I do. I can ignore bad things that people say to me. I can make people happy and be a lot more happy because no one can be mean to me anymore.” James, 9
 
What do experts say?
“A brilliant interactive book that gives young people a much greater understanding of their emotions.” Richard Wilkins, UK Minister of Inspiration
 
“Children NEED Jack Cherry and his Juicer in their lives. It had such a positive effect that I even ended up feeling the positive effects! It is definitely a fruity concept that children and practitioners love.” Emma Arnold, Children’s Support Worker
 
“Jack Cherry and the Juicer certainly has a positive impact on children's emotional health. It's well written and engaging and teaches kids that they can control their own thoughts and emotions. They can identify with Jack and his experiences and learn a valuable lesson in a fun way!” Suzanne Ratcliffe, Teacher
