You Are Enough: Big Feelings for Little Hearts
By Kelly Young – Coach, Consultant & Advocate for Neurodiverse Families
This beautifully written and illustrated guide is designed especially for children aged 6–9 who feel emotions deeply and sometimes struggle to understand them.
Through gentle words, relatable examples, and simple self-soothing tools, You Are Enough: Big Feelings for Little Hearts helps young readers make sense of their “big feelings”, like sadness, shame, rejection, or frustration and realise that feeling deeply is not something to be fixed. It’s something to be celebrated.
Children will learn that:
• They are not too much, too sensitive, or bad.
• Their brains and hearts are wired in wonderful ways that help them care deeply.
• It’s okay to cry, ask for help, and make mistakes.
• They are always safe, loved, and enough, exactly as they are.
Each page offers emotional language, affirmations, and calming ideas that help children build emotional resilience and self-acceptance. The warm, reassuring tone encourages children to pause, breathe, and recognise that their big feelings come from a place of love and care.
For parents, carers, and teachers, this book also includes a thoughtful note explaining that intense reactions are often a nervous system response, not “bad behaviour.” It offers insight into supporting children with Rejection Sensitive Dysphoria (RSD) or strong emotional responses by helping them feel safe, understood, and unconditionally accepted.
Ideal for bedtime reading, classrooms, or therapy sessions, this book gives children the words and confidence to express what’s going on inside. It nurtures empathy, self-awareness, and the powerful reminder that even on hard days, you are enough, exactly as you are.
Perfect for:
• Neurodiverse children (ADHD, autism, RSD, sensory differences)
• Parents and teachers seeking emotional literacy tools
• Counsellors, SENCOs, and wellbeing practitioners
