About
I AM NOT INTIMIDATED® KIDS EDITION: Are You Ready to Unlock Your Superpower? is a youth companion to the adult I AM NOT INTIMIDATED® book, written specifically for sixth, seventh, and eighth grade readers.
This book asks young readers one powerful question: Who decided how you react to fear?
Most kids assume their reactions are simply "who they are." But by the time a child reaches the middle-school years, countless small moments have already shaped how they respond to embarrassment, pressure, mistakes, conflict, risk, and failure. This book helps readers understand those reaction patterns without blame, shame, or diagnosis.
Through a story-driven format, readers follow four recurring characters - Riley, Sam, Jordan, and Alex - from sixth grade through the end of eighth grade. Their parallel experiences show how two different internal patterns, called Set A and Set B, can shape the way young people think, feel, respond, and see themselves during some of the most important identity-building years of their lives.
Built for readers ages 11 to 14, this book combines fiction, personal development, and age-appropriate social-emotional learning. It introduces practical language and tools that help young readers recognize fear-based patterns, pause before reacting, understand their internal alarm system, and begin building confidence, resilience, self-awareness, and healthier decision-making.
Each chapter includes a private reflection feature called the Courage Log, giving readers space to notice their own thoughts without pressure or judgment. Most chapters also include Talk About It, a short feature that gives readers specific language for starting meaningful conversations with a parent, teacher, counselor, or another trusted adult.
This book is not therapy and is not a substitute for professional support. Instead, it gives young readers something many kids are never taught: a vocabulary for understanding what is happening inside them before a difficult moment, not just after one.
For parents, teachers, counselors and trusted adults, I AM NOT INTIMIDATED® KIDS EDITION provides a thoughtful, story-based resource for helping middle-school readers talk about fear, confidence, identity, peer pressure, emotional reactions, and personal growth in a way that feels accessible, practical, and empowering.
