I Can Control Myself

A parent might reach for this book when their child is struggling with the transition from toddlerhood to the big kid years, particularly when it comes to the frustration of waiting or hearing the word no. It serves as a gentle instructional guide for navigating those high heat moments where impulse control feels out of reach for a young child. Through relatable scenarios, the book models how to process big feelings like anger and impatience without losing one's cool. Designed for children aged 2 to 5, the narrative focuses on the internal power of self regulation.

Parents will appreciate the direct, supportive tone that validates a child's struggle while providing a clear path toward resilience and social harmony.
