^{Hi, I’m Eiman —a mom, educator, and the author of New School, New Friends: Aydin’s Mindset Matters. I wrote this book (and created this activity!) because I believe every child deserves to feel confident, seen, and capable—especially in new environments.}

^{After watching many children navigate the big emotions that come with starting something new, I knew we needed more tools that teach real social and emotional skills in a fun, relatable way. That’s how Aydin’s story was born.}

^{Whether you're a teacher, parent, or just someone who loves helping kids grow, I’m so glad you’re here. Let’s raise the next generation of kind, resilient thinkers—together.}
