Does your child struggle to manage big feelings like anger, anxiety, or sadness? Do they need help identifying their emotions, staying calm at school, or asking for support when overwhelmed?

Understanding Emotions and Self-Regulation is more than a book—it's a trusted emotional toolbox built just for kids.

Written in a warm, accessible voice by author Emma Foxglove, this guide helps children on the autism spectrum and all neurodiverse learners develop the emotional skills they need to thrive at home, in school, and in the world.

Inside this book, your child will learn:

• What emotions are and why they matter
• How to name and identify feelings like happy, sad, angry, scared, and overwhelmed
• How the body gives signals before emotions get too big
• Self-regulation strategies they can use anywhere: breathing, squeezing, drawing, and calm spaces
• How to ask for help using simple, confident words
• How to use a daily feelings chart to build self-awareness and emotional language
• How to practice tools at school, with friends, or in busy environments
• Why their progress matters—and how to celebrate it

Perfect for:

• Children ages 5–12
• Neurodivergent children, including those with autism, ADHD, or sensory challenges
• Parents looking for practical tools to support emotional growth
• Teachers, school counselors, and therapists who want a go-to emotional literacy resource
• Homeschooling and SEL curriculum
• Bedtime listening that promotes connection, reflection, and healing

Whether your child is navigating the ups and downs of growing up, learning how to manage sensory overload, or simply needs support expressing their feelings, Understanding Emotions and Self-Regulation offers the guidance, encouragement, and tools they need to feel strong, safe, and understood.
