You’ve asked nicely. You’ve raised your voice. You’ve explained it a hundred different ways.
But your child still struggles with focus, outbursts, or shutting down when things get hard.
It’s not because you’re doing anything wrong; it’s because most kids were never taught how to handle big emotions in the first place.
This isn’t a “good behavior” book.
It’s a 6-book emotional toolkit, written for Black children, centered in culture, and designed to teach skills that last:
✦ How to breathe through stress
✦ How to move through anger without shutting down
How to focus even when distracted
✦ How to speak up, with clarity and respect
✦ How to hold boundaries without fear
Your child sees themselves in every single page: not as a problem to fix, but as the hero of their own story.
Mommy Teaches the Young Ninja isn’t just a bookshelf win, it’s a full emotional wellness journey for your child.
Here’s what they’ll learn:
This series didn’t come from a publisher’s office. It started in Rita Mu Shemsu-t Stewart’s living room, when her son came home from school feeling disconnected and misunderstood.
Instead of waiting for the system to change, Rita created weekly lessons to help him and his friends manage emotions, build focus, and find their voice.
Now a certified life coach and founder of Master Force Leadership Academy, Rita’s mission is the same: help Black children feel calm, confident, and powerful in who they are.
