Baseball Buzz

Reach for this book when your child loves an activity but finds the environment around it overwhelming or overstimulating. It is an ideal choice for the young athlete who excels at practice but freezes up during the big game due to the noise of the crowd or the pressure of the moment. The story follows a young baseball player who must learn to navigate sensory input and performance anxiety to help his team. Parents will appreciate how the book validates the physical experience of anxiety: the buzzing in the ears and the blurring of focus. It offers a gentle, secular approach to developing coping mechanisms and resilience without being overly clinical. For children aged 8 to 12, it provides a relatable roadmap for moving through a sensory 'buzz' toward a sense of pride and accomplishment, making it a perfect tool for normalizing neurodivergent experiences or general performance jitters.
