Reach for this book when the morning rush feels like a mountain of stress for your child, or when transitions like getting dressed and eating breakfast trigger anxiety. This gentle guide follows a young child through their morning routine, but instead of focusing on speed, it emphasizes presence. Through sensory grounding techniques (like the five senses check-in) and positive affirmations, it transforms a frantic start into a moment of connection. It is a perfect tool for children aged 3 to 7 who are sensitive to sensory input or who struggle with the pressure of a timed schedule. By modeling how to stay anchored in the body, the book provides a calming ritual that parents can adopt in real life to help their little ones feel safe and capable as they begin their day.
