Your Tiger Inside
(Mind and Heart Coaching LLC)

ABOUT THE BOOK:
How do we help young children explore and understand emotions? Your Tiger Inside authored by Dr. Sherry Kelly, a clinical psychologist with 30 years of experience working with children and parents, provides an easy-to-understand approach to embracing emotions. Your Tiger Inside helps guide children into a journey of emotional discovery through the story of two little kitties, Toby & Tabby. One kitty is very shy, while the other is often crabby. The kitties learn that emotions are not to be judged or to fear. Rather, emotions serve special purposes. By listening to their own tiger inside, they learn that the power of emotions can help better understand what they may need, seek, or fear. Their emotions can be understood as if they were similar to a little tiger inside them that rings an alarm, telling them when to pounce and telling them to hide. With enchanting illustrations, the book provides practical strategies in emotional communication for children, parents, and educators.

A portion of the proceeds from every book sold is donated to the Ara Parseghian Medical Research Fund (APMRF). Dr. Kelly's lifetime career has included working with children and families facing the challenges of rare diseases.
