Everyone Has a Dinosaur

"As a mother of neurodiverse children, a business owner, and a professor of education, I am always seeking resources that are grounded in science yet practical enough to apply in real life. Everyone Has a Dinosaur: Guidebook is exactly that kind of resource.

This guidebook offers a clear, compassionate explanation of how children experience emotions through the brain-body-heart connection. The use of symbolic characters-the DINOSAUR, the OWL, and the HEART-in-the-Brain-brings complex neuroscience to life in a way that is meaningful and accessible for both children and adults.

Professionally, I see this book as an essential tool for educators, caregivers, and anyone working with children. It provides a language and framework that fosters co-regulation, builds resilience, and promotes emotional literacy-skills that are increasingly critical in today's world.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, or education leader, EVERYONE HAS A DINOSAUR offers a framework that fosters empathy, strengthens relationships, and supports growth. It can help understand children's behaviours and, more importantly, help to support them with empathy and compassion.

I highly recommend this guidebook for parents, educators, and leaders looking to support children in understanding and managing their emotions with confidence and care."
