It isn't flying. It isn't laser eyes. It is something even cooler: The power to Stop, Think, and Choose.
Leo is five years old. He has a messy room, a noisy dog, and a baby brother who loves to chew on Leo's favorite toys. Leo faces big challenges every day. The slide line at the playground is too long. The cookies on the counter smell like warm magic. And sometimes, Dad turns off the TV right in the middle of the best cartoon!
When things go wrong, Leo feels a roaring monster inside. He wants to scream, snatch, and stomp like a T-Rex. But Leo is learning to use his brain to Freeze.
In I Can Control Myself, young readers will join Leo on a funny and relatable journey through the ups and downs of growing up. Through Leo's eyes, children will learn:
- Emotional Regulation: How to identify the volcano feeling in their chest.
- Decision Making: How to weigh options (like asking nicely vs. biting a nose!).
- Patience: Strategies for waiting in line or waiting for dinner.
- Resilience: How to handle mistakes and accidents without lying or hiding.
This book gives parents, teachers, and children a shared language-Freeze! Thinking Time-to navigate tantrums and impulsive behavior. It shows that having self-control doesn't mean you never get angry; it means you are powerful enough to choose what to do with that anger.
Help your child become the boss of their feelings today!Also from
