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?

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.
