The Early Regulation Series helps young children begin to understand how big feelings move through their body and what they can do when emotions feel overwhelming.
Through the experiences of Casper and Bentley, children gently learn that feelings such as frustration, excitement, and impatience can arrive quickly, especially for children with ADHD whose thinking brain is still developing.
These stories introduce simple ideas like pausing, waiting, resting, and noticing body signals. Rather than correcting behaviour, the series helps children recognise what is happening inside them so they can slowly build the foundations of emotional regulation over time.
