Book cover of TAM's Journey by Amanda Peddle
As we move into an Era of increased awareness of our Emotional wellbeing and the impact on ourselves and society as a whole, it becomes clear that more ways of encouraging children to manage their emotional state in a much more effective and understandable way is needed. This set of books introduces the Physiological process as part of a Journey of discovery for TAM and his new friend Hetty. Teaching Children and Young People the ‘how and why’ of emotions can remove stigma and calm some of the worry around reactions, by sharing a learning experience like a story they can develop their understanding of why we as a species respond to stimulus the way we do. This leads a greater self awareness and in turn an opportunity to challenge some of those reactions.
