BEFORE EMOTIONAL REGULATION, BEFORE HEALTHY MEALTIMES AND SUCCESSFUL TOILETING COMES INTEROCEPTION

When children struggle with emotional regulation, mealtimes or toileting, there's often an overlooked reason-they haven't 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 fundamental "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 engaging picture book that teaches children aged 3-8 to listen to their body's voice. Through gentle, poetic storytelling and warm illustrations, young readers discover how to recognise when their tummy feels hungry, when their heart beats fast with excitement, when they need the bathroom and when emotions are rising.

Your child will learn to: Notice and name internal body signalsBuild interoceptive awareness and self-regulation skillsDevelop confidence in understanding their own needsCreate strong foundations for emotional intelligence
Perfect for: Parents navigating emotional regulation, mealtimes and toilet trainingChildren with sensory processing differences or neurodiverse populationsOccupational therapists and paediatric professionals teaching body awarenessEducators implementing social-emotional learning and mindfulness programsPreschool and kindergarten classrooms building self-regulation skills

An essential resource backed by science for parents, teachers, therapists and anyone supporting children's emotional well-being and sensory development.
