Children’s Emotional Intelligence Books for ADHD

Gentle stories that help children recognise big feelings, understand them, and learn that emotions change,  written especially for ADHD brains.

Emotional intelligence is rarely taught directly, yet it underpins emotional regulation, resilience, and self-awareness.

Children with ADHD rely on emotional processing for longer, which makes early emotional understanding essential.

These books are designed to gently support children in recognising emotions, understanding why they happen, and learning that feelings don’t last forever — through calm, relatable stories.

The Emotional Intelligence Series (Ages 2–7)

Casper & Bentley Learn Big Feelings: Frustration

A gentle emotional intelligence story for young children

This is the first book in the Casper & Bentley Emotional Intelligence series, created to support young children in understanding big feelings in a calm, reassuring way.

Through the story of two very different dogs — one older and steady, one younger and still learning — children are gently introduced to frustration:
what it feels like in the body, why it shows up, and how it naturally settles with understanding and support.

This book is especially helpful for:

  • children aged 2–7

  • children with ADHD or emotional sensitivity

  • parents who want to support emotions without shaming, rushing, or fixing

The focus is not on behaviour, but on emotional awareness — laying the foundations for self-regulation later in life.

Each book includes a short parent guide, offering simple ways to use the story to build emotional understanding in everyday moments.

Casper & Bentley Learn Big Feelings: Frustration is designed to be read slowly, revisited often, and grown into over time.

Available soon.
(Book Two in the series will follow.)

Part of a growing emotional intelligence series for children — especially those with ADHD — created to support calm, understanding, and long-term emotional wellbeing.

Casper & Bentley Learn Big Feelings: Anger

A gentle emotional intelligence story for young children

This is the second book in the Casper & Bentley Emotional Intelligence series, created to support young children in understanding big feelings in a calm, reassuring way.

Through the story of two very different dogs — one older and steady, one younger and still learning — children are gently introduced to anger:
what it feels like in the body, why it shows up, and how it changes when feelings are understood and supported.

This book is especially helpful for:

  • children aged 2–7

  • children with ADHD or emotional sensitivity

  • parents who want to support anger without punishment, fear, or shame

The focus is not on stopping anger, but on recognising it — helping children learn that anger is a feeling, not a problem, and that it doesn’t last forever.

Each book includes a short parent guide, offering simple ways to use the story to build emotional understanding in everyday moments.

Casper & Bentley Learn Big Feelings: Anger is designed to be read slowly, revisited often, and built upon as children grow.
