I Snoop On My Impulses

Reach for this book when your child is constantly acting on impulse, struggling with personal space, or feeling ashamed of their 'wild' behavior. It offers a gentle, detective-themed framework for understanding why we do things before we think, helping children move from guilt to curiosity about their own brain. The story follows a young protagonist who learns to 'snoop' on their urges like a private investigator. By personifying impulses as clues to be studied, the book teaches kids to pause and investigate their feelings instead of just reacting. It is particularly effective for neurodivergent children who may feel 'naughty' when they are actually just processing big sensory or emotional needs. It provides a shared vocabulary for families to talk about self-regulation without blame.
