Feeling like something is unfair can bring up some very big emotions.
Sometimes I Feel Wronged is a supportive children's book designed to help kids recognise, understand and work through those moments when they feel hurt, frustrated or unfairly treated.
For children, knowing what they're feeling- and finding the words to explain it- isn't always easy. This book uses relatable characters and everyday situations to help children explore their emotions, understand why those feelings might occur and begin developing strategies for managing them.
Rather than dismissing difficult feelings, the story helps children recognise that emotions are important while gently exploring appropriate ways to respond. It's a useful resource for opening conversations between children and the adults supporting them, particularly when talking about fairness, disappointment, frustration and conflict.
Ideal for home, classrooms, calm corners and therapy settings.
