Common Questions Parents Ask About Kids' Emotions – And How Our Books Help

  • How can I help my toddler/preschooler with huge tantrums and big feelings?
    Our gentle books (like Big Emotions for Little People and Finding My Calm) give toddlers simple words and visuals to name feelings, plus tools to manage them — turning overwhelm into calm.
  • What are the best children's books about emotions for young kids?
    Parents love our award-winning range: Aroha's Way (anxiety), Let It Go (emotions as energy in motion), and How Do I Feel? A dictionary of emotions, all backed by 2000+ 5-star reviews.
  • How do I teach my child emotional regulation and coping skills?
    Through stories and tools that show safe release (e.g., blowing out sadness, dropping anger stones) — helping kids feel emotions without suppressing them, building lifelong resilience. Exactly what our books do!
  • My child struggles with anger/sadness/fear/anxiety — how can books help?
    Books like How Do I Feel & Let It Flow provide gentle ways to name and move through specific emotions, reducing meltdowns and anxiety while leaving children feeling empowered and not scared to feel.
  • Are there books to help kids understand and express feelings when words are hard?
    Yes — visual dictionaries, emotion cards, and nature-inspired stories make it easier for neurodivergent or sensitive kids to identify and share feelings at their own pace.
  • How early should I start talking about emotions with my child?
    From toddlerhood! Our books start simple for ages 2–5 and grow with them, helping prevent bigger challenges later by normalizing all feelings early.
  • Will learning about emotions really improve my child's mental health and behaviour?
    Yes — evidence shows strong emotional intelligence reduces anxiety, boosts grades, and builds better relationships (backed by CASEL studies and more in our "Why EI Matters" section).
  • What if my child (or I) feels overwhelmed by big emotions?
    You're not alone. Our bundles offer complete toolkits — stories + cards + posters — to create safe spaces for feeling, releasing, and growing together.
