Reach for this book when your child seems to have endless energy that disrupts daily routines, or when you hear reports from teachers that they are struggling to stay in their seat. It is particularly helpful for those moments when a child feels 'fizzy' or restless and cannot seem to settle down despite being asked to do so. The story follows Theon, a young boy experiencing a 'Wiggly Body Day,' as he navigates the challenges of school, shopping, and dinner with a high need for movement. Through Theon's journey and the support of his friend Pip, the book reframes restlessness as a sensory signal rather than a behavioral problem. It introduces four concrete, kid-friendly physical techniques to help manage high energy. Ideal for children ages 3 to 7, this book empowers families to approach neurodivergence and sensory needs with compassion and practical tools, turning a source of frustration into a moment of self-discovery and regulation.
