The cards encourage conversations to help manage emotions by offering a simple framework approach which makes them popular with parents, teachers and professionals as well as those wishing to use the cards for their own positive mental health and wellbeing. The cards give space for deep listening and empathic response which is so vital at this time of disconnection.
The purpose of the cards is to encourage children to stand back and make sense of key events in their lives. The cards can really help them become aware of what they are feeling, tell their story and understand the meaning they took from what has happened to them.
Making Sense of Emotions
When children can identify and handle their emotions, they will lead happier, more fulfilling lives.
Children deal with the same uncomfortable feelings adults do – anger, disappointment, and sadness. But unlike us, they may not have the words or skills to face those emotions. These books can help them recognise, regulate & understand their emotions.

Individuals with anxiety may fidget or make small movements when they are feeling anxious, restless, impatient or nervous. Fidget toys give these movements an outlet, which can help calm a person's nerves, relieve stress and serve as a distraction in an overstimulating environment.
