About this workbook

Every child hits moments when things feel unfair, too hard, or just too much. This workbook helps them move through those moments instead of exploding through them.

Children get bored by pages of instructions, so this one is built the other way round. Around half the book is picture-led — comic-strip stories, big colouring pages, illustrated activity cards, a poster to hang up, badges to cut out. The skills land while they are having fun.

What is inside

• Three pages of illustrated activity cards: cool-down moves, taking a break, using my words
• Two comic-strip stories (no task, just read and talk)
• Two full-page colouring sheets and a draw-your-own page
• Six cut-out badges to earn and keep, plus a match-the-pairs page
• A frustration thermometer and body-clue awareness pages
• Trigger trackers, sticky-thought swaps and a problem-solving path
• Practice stories, a weekly tracker and a printable Certificate of Calm
• A guide for caregivers on keeping the skills going at home

Who it is for

Children ages 6 to 11 working on anger, patience, and emotional regulation — plus the parents, teachers, and therapists supporting them.
