Companion Workbook

Activities for Emotional Regulation

Turning stories into real-life skills.

Designed to be used alongside the You are Brave, Amy G., the Companion Workbook helps children apply what they've learned through guided reflection and hands-on activities.

A young girl and an elderly woman sitting together on a brown sofa, smiling, with a man sitting nearby reading a book. The girl is wearing a purple polka-dot shirt and blue pants. The woman has gray hair and is wearing a green dress with a tan cardigan. There is a white plate with cookies and a slice of cake on a pink tablecloth in front of them.

Children are supported in:

🪞Identifying emotions and body signals through guided self-reflection

💡Reflecting on their thoughts, reactions, and the choices they make

🧘 Practicing emotional regulation and building flexibility

🧩 Building executive function skills like self-awareness and problem-solving

💬 Sharing what they need with the adults who support them

Each activity is written in child-friendly language and meant to be completed with a parent, educator, or therapist.

Together, You Are Brave, Amy G., and the Companion Workbook help children:

  • Connect emotions to real-life experiences

  • Build a shared language around feelings and body awareness

  • Practice skills repeatedly—not just hear about them

  • Feel supported, capable, and understood

This pairing creates a strong foundation for emotional growth, confidence, and executive function development.
