B is for Breathe: The ABCs of Coping with Fussy and Frustrating Feelings

Reach for this book when your child is in the middle of a meltdown, struggling with transitions, or feeling overwhelmed by everyday frustrations. This alphabet-style guide provides twenty-six tangible tools, from deep breathing to creative expression, that help children identify and manage 'fussy' feelings before they boil over. It is an essential resource for normalizing emotional turbulence while building a toolkit of healthy responses. Written by a clinical psychologist, the book offers a calm and structured approach suitable for toddlers through early elementary students. By framing coping skills through the familiar lens of the ABCs, it transforms abstract emotional regulation into a series of playful and achievable activities. Parents will find it particularly useful for establishing a shared language around self-regulation during quiet moments or as a proactive teaching tool.
