Most of the time, Tootles is a happy little tiger cub, but when he wakes up in a GRRRIZZLY mood, he doesn’t know what to do with his big feelings at all. Navigating strong emotions is challenging for little – and big – people. Mindfulness can help. This book is crafted so children and adults can learn (and practice!) mindfulness tools together. Plus adults discover a conscious communication approach to help them manage a child’s big feelings in a way that makes the child feel safe and seen, so they can be soothed. Written by twin mama and mindfulness teacher, Je t’aime Hayr, the mindfulness skills learned in The Little Tiger with the Big Temper (The Mindful Pause and Belly Breathing) can increase your child’s resilience and help them to calmly respond to feelings of stress, anxiety or frustration. With beautiful illustrations and an engaging, rhyming story, The Little Tiger with the Big Temper makes learning mindfulness easy and fun. This book is used by teachers, early learning centres and parenting coaches to teach mindfulness, self-regulation and conscious communication. Includes a note to parents, teachers and caregivers on the ‘how and why’ of mindfulness and conscious communication.
About the Author
To overcome prenatal depression during her twin pregnancy, Je t'aime dedicated herself to daily mindfulness and meditation. The difference in her well-being was transformational. Determined to help reduce our 'anxiety epidemic' by sharing these valuable life skills with children, she trained as a mindfulness teacher and self-published The Little Tiger with the Big Temper. To further engage people of all ages in mindfulness, Je t'aime is also a meditation teacher on Insight Timer and has created a number of digital mindfulness tools (posters, worksheets and eguides) that parents, teachers and caregivers can use in the home and the classroom to engage children in mindfulness practices.
