Mona und die magische Gefühlsleiter

Family can sometimes be exhausting. Especially when Mona gets angry during a fight, Mom scolds, and Mona just wants to hide afterward. Luckily, Mona has Uncle Merlin! He explains to Mona, using empathetic metaphors and a feelings ladder, what is going on inside her during a conflict and how she can calm herself down. The vivid depiction of inner processes helps children to better feel and understand themselves. Stress reactions like fight, flight, and freeze are playfully explained. Interactive pages encourage experimentation. For adults, there is extensive online material with psychological background knowledge on topics such as conflict culture and self-regulation. The loving watercolors are full of details and make you want to pick up the book again and again.
