Life Unlocked, Emotional Regulation

Does your child know what their feelings are trying to tell them - or do big emotions just arrive and take over?

Most children are taught to control their feelings. Very few are taught to understand them. Ariana's Emotional Regulation Book changes that - through eight chapters of real emotional situations, honest tools, and a nine-year-old girl who feels everything at full volume.

Ariana is warm, social, and deeply feeling. She cries at adverts. She laughs loudest in every room. And she sometimes does not know what to do when her feelings are bigger than she knows how to hold. Over the course of one year, she learns that feelings are not problems to be fixed - they are information to be understood. And the tools she discovers work just as well for real readers as they do for her.

In this book, your child will discover:

• What feelings actually are - and what each emotion is trying to tell you
• How to read your own body map - catching feelings early, before they overwhelm
• The traffic light check: red (pause), amber (breathe), green (act)
• The anger toolkit - including why anger is not the enemy
• The three worry questions that separate useful worry from unhelpful what-ifs
• How to move through sadness rather than around it - and when to ask for help
• Why mixed feelings are normal and what they are trying to show you
• Why sensitivity is a superpower - and how to hold it without being overwhelmed
