Do you have buzzing bees? What helps you when you feel overwhelmed or when the world is too bright, too loud, too demanding or oh so scratchy?

This 24-page story features bright illustrations in a paperback format, and offers a glimpse into the experience of one child during a meltdown. Each child is unique and what works for one may not work for another, however there are some things that support all children (and adults) when they are experiencing overwhelm, that are included in two pages of tips for parents and caregivers at the back of the book.

Patience, empathy and support are key components of effective co-regulation and are vital components of building trust, supporting emotional wellbeing and assisting with the development of skills, and we hope that this book provides a space to discuss these topics in your family.

Created for ages 1-12
