A Look Inside

Each of the characters in the book is a child having a common overwhelming experience (having to share, afraid of the dark, tower of blocks gets knocked down, etc.)


Then the child does a simple, science-backed emotional regulation strategy to help them move through the big feeling and return to a regulated state.
