Gritty Ninja: A Children’s Book About Dealing with Frustration and Developing Perseverance (Ninja Life Hacks)

My three year old and I are in love with this series. When we flipped to the back cover of Perfect Ninja, and I asked him which we should get next, he homed right in on Gritty Ninja.Sadly, it wasn't published yet and I told him we would have to wait for the author to write it.So I was super excited when, just days later (today), I received an email offering a free download of the e-book!Gritty Ninja does not disappoint, and is just the message of grit--what we called "stick-to-it-tiv-ity" when I was a kid--that I've been working to instill in my curious little explorer.Ms. Nhin's "four C's" create an easy-to-understand tool to help kids face down the anxieties and frustrations that go with doing hard things and risking failure.I suspect that at not quite four years old, my son is at the younger end of the age range for this series. Along with thoughtfully guiding kids through challenging life topics, the author doesn't shy away from rich vocabulary, which I consider an added bonus of these books.I can't wait to read the hard copy with my son when it arrives!

This is our 4th Ninja book in this series and my son (7) loves them. They're quick and the messages are fairly simple concepts and they are EXCELLENT ways to help my son deal with his anxiety, negative self talk, unrealistic expectations, emotional management - and he's learning how to access and talk about his feelings. They're very short and it says you get the kindle when you order the paperback (but I have no idea how to access this option). They give ideas on how to work on your feels and alternatives. We are big fans and my son keeps asking when the next one is coming. :-)

Of al Mary Nhin's Ninja Books (and they're all fabulous), "Gritty Ninja: A children's Book About Dealing with Frustration and Developing Perseverance" is a favorite!Gritty Ninja, was not always gritty. In the past, Gritty Ninja, who was pretty average and was not exceptionally talented, would let frustration defeat him. Gritty Ninja heeds the advice of his friend, who explains that what separates successful Ninjas from those who fail, is perseverance. Gritty Ninja promptly changes his attitude. He keeps trying no matter what, he does not give up, and inevitably, he achieves his goals!A great lesson that is relevant and applicable to kids and adults!

The Gritty Ninja delivers such a great message about perseverance. The Ninja LifeHacks books have been a great addition to our home reading. The Gritty Ninja is one of our top favorites as it teaches a great life skill. Gritty keeps pushing hard no matter what the obstacle is. He does not give up and quits, He keeps going! He ultimately does not give up reaches his goal! The best part about the book was explaining the 4 C's: Being Confident, staying Calm, being Carefree and being Capable. This is a great tool that my young reader can remember and establish.

This is a great book to help parents take the opportunity to teach the children to keep trying. Failure isn’t an option when you have other chances to succeed. Children found strength to teach themselves how to crawl, then walk and then run. Mom and Dad didn’t do it for them. They simply cheered them on. We are all born with the instinct to keep fighting and keep trying. Grit Ninja just needed to have the right cheerleader to encourage him. Be a cheer leader for your kids.

Another great book by Mary Nhin to encourage our kids to be their best selves! I’ve had the privilege to be an advanced reader for several of the Ninja LifeHacks books and I always find them to be a great, positive, and entertaining way to teach our kids real skills they can use in life. This one is no exception. It teaches kids a real tool that they can remember to help them persevere when the going gets tough. I recommend this book wholeheartedly!

This is just 1 of books within a i believe a 6 part?? Lettering is easy, large print, easy sentences. I purchased for my 5yr old grandson he is looking though it daily. :-)I would recommend this seller as this item is as stated, Quick shipping. I plan on ordering the rest of the series as he really enjoys this one.

Bought this for my boyfriend’s son because he has been having a difficult time when it comes to riding his bike. He tends to get discouraged when he falls and the Gritty Ninja book was something he enjoyed reading. I do hope it helps him gather the grit and courage to keep trying his bike and get to the point of no training wheels.

Love this new addition to the cool Ninja Life Hacks series! Gritty Ninja used to stop trying at activities he thought he would fail at, until he was introduced to the 4 Cs... A great way to help kids learn how to develop their own grit and determination. They won’t always win first place, but they will realise that the worst that can happen is usually survivable - leaving them “Carefree” and able to do their best.

Good book but many empty pages. It feels like buying a chocolate candy box that is half empty 😕

They love them
