Does your little one melt down over nothing? Slam doors, hit, or hide when feelings get too big?
Meet Leo--a brave 5-year-old who discovers that every storm inside him has a name. And a name is the first step to calm.
In My Growing World: When I Feel Sad, follow Leo through a day of real feelings: the burn of anger when his brother takes his cup, the wiggle of worry before a test, the heavy blue of sadness at recess, and the green peace of a quiet swing. With Mom's gentle guidance and his own brave words, Leo learns that no feeling is too big to name--and no feeling lasts forever.
Designed as an emotions book for toddlers and preschoolers, this self regulation kids story helps children aged 3 to 6 build the coping skills they need for real life. No lectures, no forced calm--just a relatable journey from overwhelming emotion to quiet confidence.
As a social emotional learning book rooted in positive psychology, this feelings book preschool teachers and parents trust teaches naming, breathing, and self-awareness techniques that work at home, in the classroom, and everywhere in between.
What makes this toddler anger anxiety calm down book special:
- Realistic emotional scenarios that mirror real childhood moments
- Teaches naming, breathing, and body awareness techniques
- Celebrates emotional intelligence and family connection
- Beautiful vibrant watercolor illustrations on every page
- Includes a fun Name Your Feeling drawing activity at the end
Give your child the words they need today. Because every feeling named is a feeling tamed.
