Brave as a Lion

Are you feeling as BRAVE as a lion or as WORRIED as a warthog? Find the brave inside you by roaring like a lion. How do you feel now?

A positive, energetic and playful way for children aged 2 to 5 years to recognise their feelings and lift their mood. The different animal characters visualise each feeling – from brave to worried, cuddly to lonely – so children can identify and communicate their own emotions. Underneath the puzzle pieces are funny or reassuring things for children to do to lift their mood or turn negative feelings into more positive ones.

Self-regulating feelings is a learned skill. This book offers strategies for children to practise, such as fun physical activities, mindfulness, breathing techniques and reassurance. The book also offers parents and carers a tool to open conversations to foster good mental health through play.

The double-sided puzzle pieces fit together for extra fun - good for concentration and mastering fine motor skills.

Feelings included: brave, worried, cuddly, lonely, calm, jumpy, bold, shy, strong, lazy.

Also available in the Choose Your Mood Puzzle Book series is Happy as a Lamb, which focuses on emotions: happy, grumpy, excited, sad, safe, scared, joyful, angry, proud, embarrassed.
