This imaginative book for ages 4 to 8 follows the adventures of our Little Brain People - Serotonin, Dopamine, Adrenaline, and Oxytocin as they face a big fright. This starts a panic, throwing them into a yucky brain moment with survival reactions of fight, flight, and freeze. See how they reset and return to a state of calm, by breathing, moving, and re-connecting with each other. 

Wonderfully illustrated and part of the Conscious Stories collection, this one-of-a-kind story will help children understand how their brain functions to help and protect them. The book ends with a detailed activity page with real-life tips on how to better manage yucky brain moments. Perfect for parents seeking conscious parenting tools!

Each book now includes a page of core lesson stickers serving as reminders of the lesson of the story. In this story, the core lesson is I BALANCE MY BRAIN. 

“A child's developing brain and body needs one thing most in the world…safety. 
As both a clinician and a parent I am grateful for the safety and love this story offers us.”
Dr. Jerome D. Lubbe
Author, The Brain-Based Enneagram

“Our brains are pattern-seeking and survival-oriented, and these beautiful stories are a safe place for families to connect and thrive."

My kids LOVE this book!

My 4.5-year-old and 2.5-year old both LOVE this book, and have it practically memorized. It’s so cute hearing them talk about “serotonin" and “dopamine,” but more importantly, it’s opened up conversations about what’s going on in their brains when they have tough moments. I chose to replace “yucky brain moments” with “tricky brain moments,” when I read, because my kids are prone to feeling shame about their big feelings, and I wanted to keep the language as neutral as possible. So now, my 2-year-old will sometimes tell us that he’s having a “tricky brain moment,” which is huge progress in learning to cope with his emotions! Neither of my kids have ever responded well to the current parenting advice to name the emotion they’re feeling, but they respond much better to Auntie Oxytocin’s words, “You are safe. You are safe. You are safe.” I think this book is a great introduction to what happens in the brain in fight or flight mode that even really little ones can understand, and it will lay the foundation for more detailed conversations in the future. And the illustrations are just beautiful. I’m so happy I got it!

Meet The Author


My name is Andrew Newman. I love all things creative and spiritual - especially kids! I've written books that help families connect at the end of those hectic days filled with growing, loving, and learning. I have trained and worked in healing and community building for many years which is demonstrated in the amount of detail and attention I've given to the impact of each book. These stories come to me in moments of clear sight and understanding. They feel like a gift to me, and I hope to pass that on to you and yours. Welcome to Conscious Stories - I hope it blesses your family!

Connect more with your children.

Each bedtime story guides you through snuggle-break meditation, a mindful journey, and a conscious conversation.
