New to the Tales for Big Feelings series? Written by Lori Gard, an experienced educator and school guidance counselor on Prince Edward Island, the series supports parents and children in learning how to regulate their emotions.
Introducing your favorite character, Reg is a bear whose name rhymes with EGG. Reg does not like going to sleep for the night, and when bedtime arrives, he must find a way to wind down. Luckily, Reg has his big sister Co-co to help move him through all the big feelings of his day and into a state of calm. Join Reg as he visualizes an imaginary trip to the ocean that will soon have him off to sleep. Reg Takes a Trip uses the five senses to guide reluctant young sleepers into dreamland.
Reg Goes Swimming: A Self-Regulation Story for Kids was the first book in the Tales for Big Feelings series. A story with a message around feelings, Reg Goes Swimming includes simple strategies to teach self regulation. With positive self-talk, belly breathing, and re-framing, Reg the bear moves from being emotionally dysregulated to a state of peace.
