This book helps children understand anger as a feeling that shows up when they are hurt, scared or overwhelmed. Using simple language and gentle illustrations, it supports parents and children to talk about what anger feels like, why it shows up, and how it can be expressed safely. It is especially helpful for opening calm conversations after big emotional moments. It is best suited for children ages 4-8 years.
Strong emotions are a natural part of growing up, for children and for teens. When big feelings lead to challenging behaviour, it can feel confusing and exhausting for families. Children and adolescents are still developing the skills to recognise, manage and express emotions, and behaviour is often a sign of stress, overwhelm or unmet needs.
Guiding children and teens to build positive relationships and respond to social challenges.
Parenting brings many moments that matter. Some are joyful, some are challenging, and many can leave us wondering what to do next.
