Emotional Circus — Teaching Kids to Tame Their Feelings Through Play
Every child has big feelings. But what happens when those emotions feel too big to handle? My book Emotional Circus was created to help children understand, name, and express their emotions in a safe and fun way.
✨ The Story
At the heart of Emotional Circus is a young girl who imagines her feelings as performers in a circus. Anger stomps in like a strongman, sadness tiptoes like a tightrope walker, and joy bounces around like an acrobat. Through her imagination, she learns that each emotion has a place — and that she can guide them instead of being overwhelmed by them.
🎭 Why It Matters
Children often struggle to talk about their emotions, which can lead to bottled-up stress or anxiety. This book helps kids:
- See their emotions in a playful, non-scary way.
- Learn that it’s okay to feel sad, mad, happy, or worried.
- Practice fun, safe “circus moves” that help them release tension and get their bodies moving.
🤸 Interactive Fun
The book includes opportunities for kids to join in: to stretch, balance, jump, or wiggle their emotions out as they read. This makes Emotional Circus not just a story, but an experience.
🌟 Who It’s For:
- Parents looking for gentle ways to support emotional literacy.
- Teachers who want an interactive read-aloud for the classroom.
- Kids who love play, imagination, and a little circus magic.
Because sometimes the best way to understand your feelings is to dance with them, tumble with them, and send them soaring under the big top.
