When children struggle with emotional regulation, mealtimes or toileting, there's often an overlooked reason: they haven't yet learned to notice what's happening inside their body.
Interoception is the ability to sense and understand what's happening inside your body. It's how your body talks to you. It's how we know we're hungry, tired, need the bathroom or feeling different emotions.
This "eighth sense" is the foundation for self-regulation, emotional awareness and body confidence, yet many children struggle to hear and understand their own body's voice.
Every Body Talks is an internationally bestselling picture book, now reaching children and clinicians across Australia, the United States, Canada, Ireland, the UK and beyond.
Through gentle, poetic storytelling and warm illustrations, young readers discover what it feels like when their tummy is hungry, when their heart beats fast with excitement, when they need the bathroom and when big emotions start to rise.
Your child will learn to:
- Notice their body's signals, at their own pace and in their own way
- Build interoceptive awareness, the foundation for self-regulation
- Feel confident in understanding their own needs, without pressure to get it "right"
- Build strong foundations for emotional wellbeing
Perfect for:
- Parents navigating emotional regulation, mealtimes and toilet training

Help your child learn the language their body speaks.
