Feelings for Kids
A Comic-Style Psychology Guide to Understanding Your Emotions
“I didn’t mean to lose my temper… I just couldn’t control it.” “Why can’t I stop watching these videos?” “I knew the answer, but I couldn’t raise my hand.”
If your child has ever said these things, this book is for them.
What Is Feelings for Kids?
Feelings for Kids is a comic-style psychology guide for children aged 8–12. It takes the confusing, messy emotions of everyday life and explains them through real-life school and family stories — no boring textbooks, no big fancy words.
Using fun illustrations and relatable characters, it reveals the brain science and psychology behind why we feel, act, and react the way we do. Each short chapter is like a little key that unlocks a mystery: “Oh! That’s why I get so angry so fast.” “Oh! That’s why deep breaths actually help when I’m nervous.”
