Aspden is a warm, practical workbook for children and young people who struggle to understand, name, or manage their emotions. Published by Jessica Kingsley Publishers, this accessible and engaging book gives children the tools they need to make sense of what they are feeling and why — and to develop strategies for coping when emotions become overwhelming.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eMany children find it difficult to identify and express their feelings. For some, emotions can feel intense, confusing, or completely out of control. Whether a child experiences anxiety, anger, sadness, or a swirl of feelings they cannot name, this book offers a safe and supportive way to explore their inner world. Written with warmth and clarity, it meets children where they are and gently guides them towards greater self-understanding and emotional resilience.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat This Book Covers\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eWorking through a combination of explanations, activities, and reflection exercises, the book helps children:\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eIdentify and name a wide range of emotions\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUnderstand why feelings happen and what triggers them\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eRecognise how emotions feel in their body\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eDevelop practical coping strategies for managing big or overwhelming feelings\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eBuild emotional vocabulary and self-awareness over time\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eFeel less alone with difficult emotions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Schools and SENCOs\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eAn effective resource for one-to-one pastoral support, ELSA sessions, and small-group emotional literacy work\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eSupports whole-school approaches to mental health and wellbeing in line with the DfE's guidance on promoting children's mental health in schools\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUseful across EYFS, KS1, KS2, and KS3 depending on the child's developmental stage and emotional literacy level\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eComplements EHCP and SEN support plans where emotional regulation is identified as an area of need\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eCan be used by SENCOs, learning mentors, ELSAs, school counsellors, and pastoral leads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eFor Parents and Carers\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eWritten in plain, child-friendly language that children can engage with independently or alongside a trusted adult\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eHelps parents support children who struggle to talk about how they feel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003ePractical activities and exercises that can be worked through at home at the child's own pace\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eA reassuring and non-judgemental approach that validates children's experiences\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003eUseful for children going through change, difficulty, or transition, as well as those with longer-term emotional regulation challenges\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWhy Emotional Literacy Matters\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eResearch consistently shows that children who can identify and manage their emotions are better equipped to learn, build relationships, and cope with life's challenges. Yet many children — particularly those with SEND, anxiety, or a history of adverse experiences — find emotional regulation genuinely difficult. \u003cem\u003eHelp! My Feelings Are Too Big\u003c\/em\u003e addresses this need directly, offering a child-led, activity-based approach that builds emotional literacy gradually and safely.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eThe book is particularly useful for children who experience emotional dysregulation as part of a broader profile of need, including those with anxiety, ADHD, autism, attachment difficulties, or general SEND. It does not require a diagnosis to be helpful — any child who finds their feelings hard to manage will benefit from working through it.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003eStocked by The Dyslexia Shop, a specialist UK retailer supporting children, families, and educators with learning differences and neurodevelopmental needs since 2001.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"J.P.Tarcher,U.S.\/Perigee Bks.,U.S.","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57391135326590,"sku":"BK2566","price":14.99,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0653\/6560\/6649\/files\/9781785925566.jpg?v=1778495772","url":"https:\/\/www.thedyslexiashop.co.uk\/products\/help-my-feelings-are-too-big-making-sense-of-yourself-and-the-world-after-a-difficult-start-in-life-for-children-with-attachment-issues","provider":"The Dyslexia Shop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
