Interactive book - for angry boys 4+
When anger feels too big, one calming step can help him feel safe again.
Helping a young child manage anger can be exhausting. When feelings rise quickly, boys can feel confused, overwhelmed and out of control - and so can the grown-ups around them.
My Calm Down Book is a gentle, interactive companion your child can personalise, colour in and return to every time a big feeling arrives. Simple steps. Soft illustrations. A book he actually reaches for himself.

Does this sound like your household?
- After-school outbursts arrive before shoes are even off.
- Tantrums escalate faster than words or reassurance can catch up.
- Bedtime overwhelm turns a quiet evening into a full meltdown.
A calm-down book he can make his own
Unlike a story you read to him, this book invites your child in. He writes his name on the front page, colours the character to look like him, and practises the calming steps as he goes.
That small act of personalising the book turns it into his own tool - one he recognises, trusts and wants to open when the storm arrives.
Personalise the character
Your child colours in the boy on every page so the story becomes about him.
Write his own name
A 'This book belongs to' page gives him ownership from the very first read.
Practise calming actions
Simple, repeatable steps like slow breathing and noticing the body - shown in pictures, not lectures.
