Lily's Happy Hands

Does your child speak with their hands? 👋

That’s called stimming. For many kids, moving their body is the best way to let big feelings out.

"Lily's Happy Hands" is a heartwarming story about acceptance and self-regulation.

What’s Inside:

Lily flaps her hands when she feels sad or stressed. Instead of telling her to stop, her parents gently remind her that it is okay to use her hands to express her emotions.

But when the feelings get too big and Lily feels overwhelmed, her parents introduce a safe place for her, her own special place: The Quiet Castle.

It’s where Lily can take a pause, have quiet moments, stim, and find her calm again.
