Big feelings can be hard to handle at any age!
Jessica Sinarski is here to help! Find books and resources to help you and your children make sense of complicated emotions and experiences.
Are you struggling with a child who…
Refuses to do basic tasks?
Disrespects or ignores you?
Has over-the-top angry outbursts?
Often lies or steals?
The same skills that have helped other kids just aren’t working, and you’re wondering, “Why?”

It’s a brain thing!
There are many reasons a child’s brain may be wired to operate in “defense mode.” Children who have had a tough start in life often enter relationships with behavioral baggage that can be overwhelming. BraveBrains founder Jessica Sinarski created the Riley the Brave series to help! If you’re looking for even more resources, you’re in the right place.
Let’s start with that tricky time of day… Morning!
