Product Highlight: "My Feelings Matter!" Colouring Book by PleaseNotes | Help Your Child Understand Big Emotions

You know that moment when your child is upset and you can see it all over their face, but when you ask what is wrong, they just say "nothing"? Or when they act out in a way that does not quite make sense until you realize they never learned how to say what they were actually feeling inside? That gap between having a big emotion and knowing what to do with it is one of the hardest things to bridge as a parent or caregiver. The "My Feelings Matter!" Affirmation and Activity Colouring Book was created to help you bridge it together, one page at a time.

The Problem With Big Feelings and No Words for Them

Children feel everything deeply. Joy, frustration, embarrassment, loneliness, pride. But without the language or tools to express those feelings, they come out sideways, as tantrums, shutdowns, tears over something that seems small, or silence when you know something is actually very wrong. This colouring book gives children a gentle, screen-free way to explore what is happening inside them before those feelings have a chance to overflow.

Screen-Free Time That Actually Does Something

With 40 beautifully illustrated, single-sided pages printed on thick, smooth paper, this book gives your child something to hold, colour, and keep. The single-sided design means finished pages can be torn out, displayed on the fridge, or saved in a folder without ruining the next activity. Every page pairs a simple illustration with an affirmation and a thoughtful prompt, so what looks like colouring time is also quietly building emotional vocabulary, self-awareness, and confidence.

Real Conversations Made Easier

One of the hardest things about raising emotionally aware children is knowing where to start the conversation. The 11 activity pages inside this book do that work for you. They create natural openings to talk about emotions, kindness, empathy, and how to handle tricky situations in a way that never feels like a lecture. As a parent or caregiver, you do not need to have all the answers. The book hands you the starting point and lets the conversation grow from there.

Every Child Gets to See Themselves

The illustrations in this book were thoughtfully designed to represent children with different family structures, body types, abilities, and cultural backgrounds. This matters because representation in childhood is not a nice-to-have. When a child sees themselves reflected in the pages of a book, it sends a message that who they are is worth seeing. And when they see others who look different from them, it quietly builds the kind of empathy and understanding that no worksheet can teach.

Calm Strategies for the Hard Moments

Each activity page includes simple, age-appropriate tools for emotional regulation, things like deep breathing, stretching, and counting, woven naturally into the colouring experience. These are the kinds of strategies child therapists and counselors use every day, now accessible in a format your child can explore at home, after school, during quiet time, or whenever a big feeling shows up and needs somewhere safe to go.

Flexible Enough to Fit Into Real Family Life

You do not need a special routine or a set-aside hour to make this work. Most families spend between 5 and 15 minutes on a page, which means it fits into bedtime wind-downs, after-school transitions, quiet weekend mornings, or even a few minutes before dinner. It works independently for children who want their own space with it, and it works just as beautifully as a shared activity between a child and a trusted adult.

A Gift That Goes Far Beyond the Moment

For the parent who wants to raise a child who can name what they feel. For the teacher who needs a tool for calm-down corners and classroom mindfulness time. For the grandparent, aunt, uncle, or family friend who wants to give something that genuinely helps. For the child therapist looking for a resource that children actually enjoy engaging with. At $18.95 CAD, this is the kind of gift that keeps showing up in the moments that matter most.

The "My Feelings Matter!" Affirmation and Activity Colouring Book is 8.5 x 11 inches, 40 single-sided pages on thick smooth paper, includes 11 activity pages, and is designed and printed in Canada. Priced at $18.95 CAD with free Canadian shipping on orders over $60 and worldwide shipping within 5 to 10 business days. Ideal for ages 4 to 8, and genuinely loved by older kids and adults too.

Your child is already feeling everything. This book simply gives those feelings a place to land, a colour to wear, and a word to go with them. And in those small, quiet moments of colouring together, something larger starts to grow. A child who trusts themselves with their emotions. A child who can look at someone else and say, I wonder how they feel. A child who knows, without a doubt, that what they feel matters.
