Product Overview

An essential guide to help children become more aware of their emotional
needs. This book examines a range of everyday topics that might give
children's minds difficulties, for example: when parents don't seem to
understand us; when we fall out with friends; when school feels boring or
difficult; when we're too busy and get overwhelmed; when our phones create
trouble; when we feel sad, bored, anxious or fed up with things. As an atlas
to a child's mind, we explore a range of common scenarios encountered by young
children and talk about some of the very best ideas to help deal with them. By
offering a sympathetic and supportive framework, we encourage children to open
up, explore their own feelings and face the dilemmas of growing up armed with
emotional intelligence. What readers are saying 'Thought provoking and
