• Relatable stories to support adults and children in talking about their emotions, their responses to new situations, and in book four, their brain.

• Caregivers and educators alike can respond to invitations to reflect on their emotions and coping strategies.

• A look into how connected relationships help both adults and children feel safe and calm.

• Demonstrates how an adult's view of the whole child as capable and competent can help them feel prepared for any bumps in the road!
