Big feelings can be hard to handle at any age!

Riley the Brave is a great tool 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!

Riley the Brave and the supportive afterword are here to help! If you’re looking for even more resources, you’re in the right place.
