When your child doesn't fit into a 'box'
All kids feel different at some point, but for some kids they could be diagnosed with ADHD, on the autism spectrum (autistic), dyslexic, have learning difficulties, are neurodiverse or have a physical difference or physical disability. I've created 'Here I am!' to help wonderful kids, like yours, learn to accept themselves so they can thrive in the world in their own unique way.
'Here I am!' is inclusive
I've designed 'Here I am!' to be accessible to kids and families from all walks of life as the messages and themes are universal. With anxiety, depression and suicidal thoughts in kids on the rise worldwide I want every child to know they are important to the world.
Future proof your kids
Machine learning, AI and bio tech are fast replacing traditional blue and white collar jobs. Your child will need skills that computers can't replicate so they can thrive in a constantly evolving work environment. 'Here I am!' introduces your kids to the key skills they'll need, including; self-awareness, emotional well-being, curiosity, resilience, empathy and creativity.
How 'Here I am!' can help your family
-
Opens up important conversations with your kids and gives you an insight into what they’re thinking and feeling.
-
Brings you closer together.
-
Gives your kids strategies to help manage big emotions like anger and anxiety.
-
Lets your child know they are wonderful the way they are, no matter how different or out of place they may feel.
-
Gives your kids the tools to develop inner resilience so they can be braver in the world.
-
Gives your kids important life advice they can take into adulthood so they can develop into well adjusted adults.
-
You get to relax a little more knowing that you’re doing your best as a parent and your kids know they’re loved and wanted.
“At a time when mental health is high on everyone’s agenda – even as it relates to children – this is a book which is sure to be on the bookshelves of psychologists as well as in classrooms and libraries. It is also an ideal book to initiate discussion about relationships and how to negotiate the world.”
- Dianne Bates, Buzzwords Books on Magnificent Mistakes and Fantastic Failures
"I don’t think my son would be the kid he is today without 'Being You is Enough'."
- Anne (mother of 12 year old boy who grew up with Being You is Enough)

“My daughter is very sensitive and is often overwhelmed by her feelings, leading to a lot of crying. I asked her what she thought of this book. She said, “I like how it talks about feelings and it is OK to feel like that. It made me feel happy.” I highly recommend this book for everyone–parents, children, schools, public libraries–anyone or anyplace that involves feelings!”

I'm Josh Langley
Author of the award winning 'Being You is Enough' books series for kids. I promote positive mental and emotional health messages for kids through my books, presentations, primary school talks, videos, charity work and courses, like 'Here I am!'
When you feel different
I always felt different growing up. I wore nerdy glasses, had trouble reading, couldn't spell, was really short (still am), daydreamed a lot (still do) and was always getting into trouble for not paying attention.
I didn't do well at school and ended up failing high school and being unemployed for a couple years. Many people told me I was a failure and I wouldn't amount to much.
Overcoming the odds
Regardless of what people said about me and a lack of any higher education, I went on to become a multi-award award winning radio copywriter. I have since published 9 books (4 kids books) and won the 2018 Australia Book Industry Awards (ABIA) Small Publishers' Children's Book of the Year. My books help thousands of families around the world. I tour primary schools talking to kids about self-esteem and resilience, create inspirational content for the Children’s Book Council of Australia WA Branch and Camp Quality Children’s Cancer Charity. I'm also an ambassador for The Children's Tumour Foundation of Australia. I have my own chat show, 'Josh Langley Gets to Know', where I talk with authors, children’s wellness specialists and people with inspiring stories.
"It is an excellent resource for discussing emotions in a positive, helpful way with children aged five and up.”

FAQ
-
What is the age group for this course?
Kids aged 5 to 12. However if your child is older than 12 but developmentally younger, they would benefit too.
-
Do you single out or talk about certain conditions or issues that children may have?
I don't get specific at all. Because I want all kids to relate to what I'm saying, I keep things very generalised.
-
How long do I have access to the course for?
You get unlimited lifetime access when you purchase 'Here I am!', so you and your child can go through the course as many times as you like. The videos are all able to be watched on-demand as well, so when certain life situations arise, your child can watch a video that can help them work through with that situation.
-
Is 'Here I am!' suitable for children on the autism spectrum?
Yes. I'd show your child the course outline first, so they can become familiar with what to expect so there are no surprises. Some of the videos feature basic animation, but nothing too intense. You might like to watch some of the sample lessons to get an idea of what I'm talking about.
-
My child is non verbal, is 'Here I am!' still appropriate for them?
Yes definitely. The messages and activities are still just as relevant and might be even more important for your child to hear.
-
My child is highly sensitive to stimuli, are there any bright flashing graphics or loud noises in 'Here I am!'?
'Here I am!', does contain some basic animation, but nothing that would be considered intense. I'd suggest watching the preview videos to get an idea of what the graphics and animations look like. And no there are no loud noises or sound effects.
-
My child seems happy and progressing well, would they get anything out of this course?
Yes. Every child, will be able to take something away from the course, even if it's simply being able to notice and manage their thoughts and emotions so they can live a more emotionally balanced life as they grow up.
-
My child is hearing impaired, do the videos have captions?
Not as yet. I intend on including closed captions in the next 6 months. However I highlight key messages in bold text on the screen as I talk, so your child can get the key takeaway messages and still do the activities. I'd suggest watching one of the sample videos to see what I mean.
60 day guarantee
The changes to your child after doing the ‘Here I am!’ course as instructed, may be subtle and take time to develop due to the very nature of the subject material. It is important to run through the complete course and do the activities. This lays the groundwork for later comprehension of topics covered in the lessons when used as an on-demand wellbeing tool kit. However, if after 60 days of following the course as suggested, it has made no discernible difference to their temperament, mood, levels of interaction and conversation or feeling of self-worth, then I’ll be happy to refund your money. Also, please see the 'Important disclaimer' below.
