How is this book different from other children’s books about feelings?
4
You Are Brave, Amy G. goes beyond naming emotions. It teaches children how their brain responds to stress — including the role of the amygdala and prefrontal cortex — and gives them concrete calming strategies they can use in real life. It’s written by a school psychologist and executive function coach, so the strategies aren’t just comforting — they’re research-based.
"An excellent resource for teaching research-based coping skills in a way that feels relatable and fun. As a therapist, I would absolutely use this with younger clients who struggle with big emotions."
