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.
