I’ve read plenty of books designed to help kids build confidence, but What Can I Say? stands out because it actually gives children the words they need in real-life situations. Instead of simply telling kids to “be confident” or “make friends,” it shows them what they can actually say when joining a conversation, asking for help, apologizing, or handling an awkward moment. The examples are simple, practical, and easy for kids to understand and remember. I’ve already noticed my child becoming more comfortable speaking up and expressing themselves. It’s the kind of book that teaches skills they’ll use far beyond childhood.
THE WORDS THEY’LL NEED, EVEN WHEN YOU’RE NOT THERE TO HELP
As your child grows, you won’t always be standing beside them when they’re unsure what to say. But that doesn’t mean they have to figure every situation out alone.
Making new friends can feel intimidating. Joining a group can feel awkward. Feelings get hurt. Disagreements happen. And sometimes, even asking for help can feel harder than it should.
What Can I Say? gives kids the actual words they can use when they don’t know what to say.
Through relatable, easy-to-understand examples, they’ll learn how to start conversations, join in, ask for help, apologize sincerely, express their feelings, handle disagreements, and speak up with confidence.
It’s the kind of practical guidance that prepares them for those everyday moments when you won’t be standing beside them telling them what to say.
They can explore situations at their own pace, practise different responses, and slowly build the confidence to handle conversations on their own.
Because you can’t always speak for them — but you can help them find the confidence to speak for themselves.
GIVE THEM THE WORDS THEY’LL CARRY THROUGH LIFE
As your child grows, the social situations they face become more complicated, and knowing what to say and how to say it becomes an important skill.
Making friends, joining conversations, asking for help, handling disagreements, apologizing, expressing feelings, and speaking up when something doesn’t feel right.
And while you’ll always want to guide them, you won’t always be there when they need to find the right words.
What Can I Say? gives kids practical, easy-to-understand words and phrases they can use in real-life situations — helping them communicate with greater confidence and independence.
Because you can’t be beside them for every conversation they’ll face.
But you can help make sure they know what to say when that moment comes.

REAL STORIES FROM PARENTS
See why parents are choosing What Can I Say? to help their kids find the right words, build confidence, and handle everyday social situations.
Exactly What My Son Needed
My son has always been a little shy around new people and often looks to me to speak for him. What Can I Say? has been such a helpful resource because it doesn’t just tell kids to be confident — it actually shows them what they can say. We’ve practised a few of the examples together, and I’ve already noticed him becoming more comfortable starting conversations. He even introduced himself to another child at the park without me prompting him. I was so proud. It teaches such simple skills, but they make a huge difference in everyday life.
I Wish I Had This as a Kid
I bought this for my 9-year-old daughter, but honestly, I found myself wishing I had something like this growing up. There are so many situations where kids know what they want but simply can’t find the right words. This book makes those moments feel much easier. My daughter especially liked learning different ways to join a conversation and ask if she could play. The examples are practical and don't feel like a boring lesson. It’s become one of those books we keep coming back to whenever something happens at school.
More Than Just Teaching Good Manners
At first, I thought this would mostly teach things like saying please, thank you, and sorry. It goes so much further than that. It covers making friends, expressing feelings, asking for help, dealing with disagreements, and knowing how to speak up. I love that everything is explained in a way children can actually understand. My son will sometimes come home and tell me about a situation where he used something he remembered from the book. That alone made it worth buying.
Perfect for Kids Who Freeze Up
My daughter is very talkative at home, but around unfamiliar people she sometimes completely freezes. Telling her to “just say hello” never really helped. This book gave us actual phrases we could practise together before situations happened. Having those words ready seems to make her feel much more prepared. Recently, she joined a group of kids playing without asking me to go with her, which was a big moment for us. I love that the book encourages confidence without trying to change her personality.
Practical Skills They’ll Use for Years
Schools teach our kids so much, but there are certain everyday skills that are difficult to teach from a worksheet. Knowing how to apologize, join a group, ask for help, or handle an uncomfortable conversation matters too. What Can I Say? breaks these situations down into language children can actually use. My two kids are different ages, and both have found parts of the book useful. We sometimes even turn the examples into little role-playing games. I can genuinely see these being skills they carry with them as they grow older.
Helped My Daughter Speak Up for Herself
One thing I really wanted my daughter to learn was how to speak up without feeling like she was being rude. She sometimes stays quiet when something bothers her because she doesn't know how to respond. This book has helped us talk about those situations in a much more natural way. Instead of me constantly telling her what she should have done afterward, we can practise what she could say next time. She’s slowly becoming more comfortable expressing herself. For me, that growing independence has been the best part.
Every Parent Should Have This on the Bookshelf
There will eventually be situations our kids have to handle when we aren't standing beside them. That’s why I really appreciate this book. It gives children simple ways to approach everyday conversations and social situations on their own. My 8-year-old loves looking through the different examples and asking me what I would say too. It has actually started some great conversations between us. More importantly, I feel like she’s building a little toolkit of words she can rely on when she needs them. It’s practical, reassuring, and genuinely useful.
A Small Book With Big Lessons
Don’t let the size of this book fool you — it contains incredibly powerful ideas. The author shows how our thoughts influence our actions and ultimately shape our lives. The message is clear, practical, and easy to understand. I finished it quickly but felt like I gained a new perspective on personal responsibility and growth. It’s the kind of book that motivates you to think differently about your future. Highly recommended for anyone interested in self-improvement.
