We can't control how we feel, but we are in charge of what we do. Why do we behave the way that we do? How do our actions affect others? How can we become more aware of our behaviour? Following on from 'First Feelings', these books look at six classic behaviours of young children and are valuable tools for talking with your child about how - and why- we behave. With thanks to Dr Kathryn Lester, Senior Lecturer in Developmental Psychology at the University of Sussex, for her invaluable advice during the making of this series.
The books are designed with both neurodivergent and neurotypical readers in mind, for example, ‘When I Feel Brave’ includes examples of being brave by saying no when something doesn't feel right.
Non-gendered monsters conform to no stereotypes.The books can be used to develop emotional intelligence from a young age, as the behaviours are labelled and relatable experiences are used to help young children make connections between their behaviours and what might trigger them.
