Your Brain Is a Puppy – Train It Kindly

About Book

Anxiety can feel confusing, overwhelming, and sometimes even frightening - especially for teenagers who are still learning how their minds work. Puppy Brain offers a simple, relatable, and empowering way to understand anxiety by comparing the mind to a little puppy that can be trained with patience and kindness. Blending practical insights from Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) with real-life classroom experience, this book explains how the subconscious mind influences thoughts, emotions, and decisions. Using clear language and engaging examples, it helps young readers understand why anxiety happens and how they can gently guide their thoughts instead of feeling controlled by them. Designed especially for teens, this book provides easy-to-follow techniques, visualization exercises, and mindset tools to build emotional resilience, confidence, and calm - particularly during exams and stressful situations. Rather than labeling anxiety as a weakness, Puppy Brain reframes it as a signal that can be understood and managed. By learning how to “train” their inner puppy, students discover that calm can become their new default. This book is a supportive guide for teenagers who want to feel more in control of their minds and more confident in facing life’s challenges.
