The Feelings I Can't Explain

The Feelings I Can’t Explain

A compassionate story about big feelings, misunderstood behavior, and learning emotional awareness.

Sometimes children act out—not because they want to be difficult, but because they don’t yet know how to explain what’s happening inside.

The Feelings I Can’t Explain follows a young boy learning to understand emotions that feel confusing, overwhelming, and too big for words. Through gentle support and connection, he discovers that feelings can be named, understood, and managed with help.

Perfect for ages 5–8, The Feelings I Can’t Explain helps children and parents:
• build emotional vocabulary
• understand behavior as communication
• practice emotional regulation
• create connection before correction

A comforting reminder for every child: your feelings are welcome here.
