Sometimes it can be hard to know how to help when your child BIG Feelings hit! Suddenly you are in a storm of emotions and just do not know what to do. And your child doesn't know either.
Myla Learns Wings Over My Heart is a practical How-to self soothe guide wrapped up in the magic of a warm, enchanting story.
This beautifully illustrated children's picture book tells the story of Myla, a deep-feeling six-year-old girl, who wakes up with a stomachache and suddenly does not want to go to school. After making a quiet wish for help in the garden, she meets Aditha, the Energy Fairy, who gently shows her that the emotions in her body might be trying to share something important.
Together, they practice Wings Over My Heart, a simple self-soothing technique modelled after the somatic practice butterfly taps. With practice, Myla learns how to comfort herself, connect with her emotions, and listen to what her feelings are trying to tell her.
