Description

When I'm Feeling Scared by Trace Moroney is a gorgeous book with a flocked and embossed hardcover. 18 pages with colour illustrations throughout will delight your child and encourage their emotional development and expression.

"Have you ever been so scared that your heart races? Do creepy, crawly spiders and being alone in the dark make you tremble?"

Each of the books in this series has been carefully designed to help children better understand their feelings, and in doing so, gain greater autonomy over their lives.

Talking about feelings teaches children that it is normal to feel sad, or angry, or scared at times. With greater tolerance of painful feelings, children become free to enjoy their world, to feel secure in their abilities, and to be happy.

What do you do when your child is feeling scared? In Notes for Parents at the back of the book, a child psychologist offers some helpful insights.
