Wobbly Feeling: Beatrice's Five Senses Grounding Adventure

By Leah Bleicken-Spiro

Wobbly Feeling: Beatrice's Five-Sense Grounding Adventure follows a bunny named Beatrice who wakes up feeling wobbly. She's experiencing a flutter in her tummy, her paws feel shaky, and her ears are twitching nervously. Beatrice's Grandma Bunny explains that when feelings feel too big, you can use a five-senses grounding technique to help you feel steady again. Together, Beatrice and Grandma head to the meadow for a Five Senses Adventure.

The "Wobbly Feeling" storybook serves as a valuable tool for helping children better understand their body's fight-or-flight response, which can lead to sensations of unsteadiness due to adrenaline. Rather than expressing feelings directly, younger children often use more relatable terms like "wobbly," reflecting their developing emotional vocabulary. The concept of a "wobbly feeling" is particularly effective in illustrating both the physical sensations and emotional uncertainties they may be experiencing.

This book introduces a grounding technique known as the 5-4-3-2-1 method. This approach can empower children to manage wobbly feelings by engaging their senses, thus facilitating a return to the present moment. This straightforward, actionable, and quick technique guides a child to identify five things they see, four things they feel, three things they hear, two things they smell, and one thing they taste, creating a sense of awareness and calm.
