“The book “ You and Stress…. The Brain Explained” by Jacqueline Tournier is an absolute gem for helping children understand their emotions and feelings. It explains how emotions can shape our behavior and what happens in the brain during moments of stress, all in language that is simple, clear, and truly child-friendly. The funny, engaging visuals make complex ideas easy to grasp and keep kids interested from start to finish.

What I love most is how the book encourages meaningful conversations. It invites children to talk openly about their emotions at home, in school, and with friends, helping them build confidence and emotional awareness. This is a wonderful resource for families, educators, therapists, and anyone supporting a child’s social-emotional development.””

“In my work as a quality coordinator and autism coach, I work a lot with children and I get to take them into the workings of their brains. To illustrate this, I always use the book ''You and stress... the brain explained''. This book illustrates and describes how and why you react when you are angry, scared or stressed. It gives children words and images to their behavior. This gives them more insight into their own behavior and emotion regulation. It is also an eye-opener for parents, allowing them to respond with more calmness to their child when he or she is struggling.”

“This book is an absolute must-read! It takes you into the fascinating world of your brain and shows you what happens when too much tension arises—inside or out. Why do people react the way they do? You'll discover it all! The first part is especially for adults, and the second part is written for children. This way you can speak the same language together and really understand what is going on. Learn, recognize, and talk about it in a way that works for everyone. You don't want to miss this book!”

“You and stress… the brain explained! What actually happens in our brain when we experience stress and how do we react? And do we all react the same? This book explains this in great detail, both to parents and to children, with the aim that you can speak 'the same language' in moments of stress. So nice when you understand your own brain! Not only a fun and educational book for parents and children, but also highly recommended for coaches and therapists.”
