As young children start to discover the world, their emotions become deeply connected with the people, environment and situations around them. As any parent will attest, the key is to turn a propensity for anger into calm, expressive communication!
Nobody knows this better than Ayse Rose, who penned a poem to help her son recognise and correct his behaviour. It was such a hit that, after having the story illustrated, Ayse is now releasing it to the world.
Synopsis of ‘Use Your Words’:
A short story about a little boy learning how to stay calm and use his words when he gets upset. This book provides a great way to start a conversation with your child about expressing themselves and communicating properly when they get upset, instead of getting angry. Aimed at children aged 3-8 years.
“One thing children often struggle with is finding the right words to express themselves,” explains the author. “The young boy in the story has his own way of talking about how he feels; a very useful anchor for young readers, even if they’re too young to formulate words like this themselves. I wanted to carefully craft a special and heartfelt message that many parents can’t formulate “in the moment” – I know I certainly struggled when my little boy got angry and I had to react instantly! It’s a message that speaks directly to them, in a very gentle way.”
Continuing, “The book has had such a great response that I’m now writing an entire series based on helping children display good behaviour and thrive with a positive mindset. Of course, all future publications will also be wrapped up in an entertaining story and brought to life through illustrations and rhyme. I think it’s a wonderful way to help children learn how to process and express their emotions.”
Reviews have been extremely positive. One mum wrote, “This is a really good book, had fun reading it to my little ones and could see they instantly had an understanding of what the book was about, perfect for little ones 2+ and illustrations were great.”
Gaining high praise from many readers the book has been described as, “Perfect for little ones to read along with” and “A nice starting point for what can be a tricky subject for parents to discuss with young children.”

About the author, in her own words:
I am a first-time self-published children's author. As a mum of two young children, I was initially inspired to write "Use Your Words" as a way to connect with my 5-year-old son about his behaviour. After seeing the positive effect the story had on him, I decided to share it with others in hopes it would help other parents dealing with tantrums and meltdowns. I've since discovered a love for sharing positive messages through short stories and am now working on other story ideas related to behaviour and positive mindset for kids and hope to release those very soon.
