Does your child get stuck in What If loops? Help them untangle their big feelings with Sam and the Shape Squad!
Meet Sam. He is a happy Purple Wave who loves to wiggle and flow. But when the Shape Squad heads to the playground, Sam starts to worry. The Big Slide looks too tall, too fast, and too scary.
Suddenly, Sam isn't a soft wave anymore. His body gets tight. His tummy hurts. He twists into a prickly, stuck Tangle.
Sam Feels Worried is a gentle, interactive story designed to support children with different learning styles, including neurodiverse and neurotypical children alike...
This story teaches emotional regulation alongside early learning - helping children gently absorb shapes, colors, and early counting naturally through story, not lessons. The story itself is the main learning tool, with techniques introduced naturally through Sam's experience.More than just a story, this book is a toolkit. Your child will learn:
The Super Squeeze: A Progressive Muscle Relaxation technique to release physical tension (great for sensory seekers).
The Worry Cloud: A visualization tool to help blow away intrusive thoughts using breathwork.
Grounding Games: Interactive Search and Find and counting games to stop the brain spin often experienced by children with ADHD or anxiety.
Perfect for toddlers, pre-schoolers, and early elementary kids (ages 3-8), this book moves beyond just talking about feelings and gives kids physical tools they can use in real life.
Includes optional calm-down activities and digital downloads for reinforcement:
Sam's Grounding Game (Counting & Colors)
The Windy Breath Drawing Page
Sensory Playing Dough Instructions
A Super Brave Certificate
PLUS: Access to the Free Printable Calm Corner Resource Packs (Via QR Code inside)
The story is the primary learning tool. Activities are optional reinforcement.
