The Books
Two books, one continuous roadmap. From the first big feelings of the toddler years to the ones that arrive with growing up.
From toddler tantrums to tween meltdowns, Tiny Humans, Big Emotions and Big Kids, Bigger Feelings offer a compassionate, research backed roadmap to raising emotionally intelligent kids at every stage.
Packed with relatable stories and practical tools, they help parents and educators build connection, navigate big feelings, and support a child's emotional growth from the early years through middle childhood.
Find your stage
The two books read as one throughline across childhood, with an overlap from ages 5 to 7 where either one meets you well. Find the stage your child is in, then start there.
