Resources
To help build confidence in children, Inner Wings has a series of resources from books published by our co-founder Melissa Di Donato Roos to online video sessions and training materials for parents.
Books
Inner Wings' co-founder and CEO, Melissa Di Donato Roos, has written three children's books - The Magic Box, How Do Mermaids Poo? and Kick Like a Girl - with illustrations by Ange Allen, Kerry Katz and Luke Roos. Inspired by her daughter, each book in this series encourages children everywhere - especially girsl - to reach for their dreams, no atter how big, to be courageous, and to drive a positive impact in the world around them. Each book comes with a reading aid to help parents and children understand and process the themes of the book, and 100% of the profits are reinvested into Inner Wings!
Rose, a little girl, finds an empty box on her front lawn. The side of the box has the following words: "YOU ARE STRONG AND CAPABLE OF ANYTHING, DRESS UP, DREAM BIG, LET’S BEGIN”.
This story is about two girls named Francesca and Ila. They learn a valuable lesson on the importance of thinking differently and questioning what they know while they build confidence and explore the world with inquisitive minds.
Francesca wants to play football in the park with the boys. Her mum steps in with wonderful stories of famous women who were strong and achieved their goals. Will she also find confidence to challenge the boys to a football match?
Educational Videos and Talks
The Finding Your Superpower school programme grew from its success as a five-part YouTube series that gained over 300 views during the COVID-19 lockdown of early 2021. Designed by mindset coach, Ciara Banerji, these 10-minute sessions can easily be done at home.

Inner Wings delivers workshops, upon request by partner schools, to provide parents with a greater understanding of the psychology behind confidence and how to identify challenges with confidence; tips and ideas to support their children in building their confidence; and resources to support them at home.

That was a great session with lots of valuable information and discussion about shared experiences with our children's confidence being affected throughout the pandemic.

I have two young daughters and hearing from Inner Wings about the work they're doing and what we can do at home was really helpful.

I found the workshop thought-provoking and spot-on with regards to topics covered and concerns I’m facing with regards to my two young daughters. I’m really pleased our school will be collaborating with this great Foundation.
