About This Book
Reach for this book when your child is spiraling into a meltdown, feeling overwhelmed by school stress, or struggling to articulate why they feel out of sorts. It is a practical toolkit disguised as a picture book, introducing children to the Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) or tapping. By combining gentle physical touch on acupressure points with positive affirmations, the book provides a somatic grounding exercise that helps children self-regulate. Designed for children aged 4 to 9, the book addresses anxiety, anger, and low self-esteem through rhythmic movement and mindful breathing. It is an excellent choice for parents who want to move beyond just talking about feelings and instead offer their children a physical action they can take to shift their internal state from chaos to calm.
