Not Good At It Yet
What if a young person could see ‘I can’t’ as ‘I can’t yet’? “Not Good at It Yet” shows them how — not with empty cheerleading, but with real, usable tools they can put to work the very same day. Ellie Brightwood draws on the real science of how the brain grows through effort. She explains why “Yet” genuinely works, then shows readers how to make it their own. Across twelve quick, friendly chapters, readers get the science behind the idea, a story they’ll recognise, something to think about, something small to try, and an affirmation that sticks. Honest, modern and never babyish, it’s a quiet confidence-builder for ages 12–16 — and a thoughtful gift for any teen learning to grow through effort. The Growth Mindset Series · Ellie Brightwood
