The Day My Feelings Felt Too Big

A parent would reach for this book when their child is experiencing frequent emotional outbursts or seems overwhelmed by physical sensations and reactions that they cannot yet name. It is particularly effective for those moments when a child feels out of control, whether due to a transition at school, sensory overload, or the frustration of being misunderstood. The story provides a gentle, relatable narrative about a child navigating a day where every emotion feels amplified. By normalizing the intensity of these feelings and offering practical, low-pressure mindfulness techniques, it helps bridge the gap between a child's internal chaos and a parent's desire to comfort. It is ideally suited for children aged 3 to 7 who are beginning to develop self-regulation skills.
