I wrote And Now Nobody Likes Me to hopefully show children how easily these things happen and how it’s important to recognise when your brain is running away with you and making you sad, worried or afraid. As a mum of three, I’ve seen the problems my own children have had with navigating friendships and keeping perspective, and although they are all much better at it than I was, I realised that we all need a bit of reassurance and empathy sometimes – and a few tools to help us back up the slippery slope!
