About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is struggling with physical restlessness, sudden outbursts of frustration, or difficulty transitioning from high-energy play to a calm state. This rhyming guide introduces the concept of kindness not just as a social behavior, but as a physical practice of self-regulation and mindfulness. Through gentle yoga poses and breathing techniques, children learn to channel big emotions into purposeful movement. Appropriate for ages 3 to 8, this book serves as an interactive toolkit for families seeking to build emotional intelligence. It transforms abstract concepts like empathy and patience into tangible body shapes and breath work. Parents will find it particularly useful for bedtime routines or as a constructive 'time-in' activity when a child is feeling overwhelmed or disconnected.

The book is entirely secular and focuses on physical mindfulness. It addresses 'big feelings' like anger and loneliness metaphorically, treating them as energy that needs to be moved through the body. The resolution is hopeful and empowering, giving the child agency over their internal state.
