WHAT PEOPLE SAY

JAYNE, TEACHER

As a teacher, I love the concept of Emotions at Play. Let's help children to understand their emotions at the earliest opportunity and help them be school ready.

STEPH, MUM OF 3

What a fantastic idea for helping children to talk about their emotions. I can't wait for the first books to land. I think I'll collect them all!

ANNA, THERAPIST

I always recommend 1:1 playtime at home to parents because it has so many benefits. Emotions at play is a wonderful way to address experiences and feelings in a developmentally appropriate way for young children.
