Not even one.</strong></p><p></p><p>It takes one wise, scratchy-voiced crab named Babs to help Simon understand: being yourself doesn't mean ignoring how you land on others.

It's about knowing the place and the time.</p><p></p><p>Written by a retired Occupational Therapist with over 40 years of experience, every page of this book is built on the same developmental truth OT professionals teach daily: self-regulation is a skill, not a personality trait - and it is built through story, practice, and patient modeling.</p><p></p><p><strong>Perfect for: </strong></p><p>- Children ages 2-5 who struggle with volume, impulse control, or social approach</p><p>- Parents and caregivers looking for a natural conversation-starter about big feelings</p><p>- Preschool teachers and school counselors</p><p>- Occupational therapists seeking books to recommend to families</p><p>- Children with sensory processing differences, ADHD, or social skills challenges</p><p></p><p><em>Printed in the Dyslexie Font for maximum readability and inclusion.</em></p><p><em>Part of the Porgy &amp; Petunia(TM) series - where every adventure builds a smarter, braver, more resilient child.</em></p>
