Listening to My Body
A gentle self-awareness story for young children with ADHD
​
Listening to My Body is the first book in the Casper and Bentley Self-Awareness Series for children aged 2–7.
​
In this gentle story, Casper notices an uncomfortable feeling in his tummy while playing. With the calm support of his friend Bentley, he begins to understand that his body is communicating a need, and that listening to these signals helps him feel better and stay healthy.
​
This book supports early self-awareness by helping children notice physical sensations, understand that the body sends helpful messages, and feel reassured that it is safe to listen to what’s happening inside them.
​
Designed with ADHD in mind, the focus is not on behaviour or self-control, but on awareness before regulation. The story is intended to be read slowly, revisited often, and used as a gentle way to build understanding over time.
​
A short parent guide is included to support connection and reflection in everyday moments.
