A balanced introduction that bridges the gap between current neuroscience research and early childhood practice.

Maya knows that her life can be tough sometimes - really tough, but with the help of those she trusts (especially her pet hamster, Harry) Maya discovers her own strength and bravery to overcome the problems she faces.

Alongside the accompanying storybook, Maya's ACE Adventures!, this guide provides adults with much-needed resources to talk to children about their traumatic experiences in ways that are non-threatening, safe, and can build a child's confidence in speaking about their fears with a trusted adult.

This sensitively written and beautifully illustrated storybook and guide provides children (aged 7+) and the adults who support them with the resources to understand Adverse Childhood Experiences (ACEs) and demonstrate how speaking with children can foster healing and recovery from trauma.

This book informs EY students, practitioners and parents about the fundamental importance of self-regulation as a critical skill for young children to develop. Full of information about the neuroscience of early brain development alongside real-life case studies, this book demonstrates how to put SR theory into action.
