Tap on Teddy

Fiction

Is your child a little nervous about school… or monsters… or peas that touch the other food on the plate?

This heartwarming (and slightly magical) story introduces children to the world of EFT tapping—a super-simple, finger-drumming, emotion-calming technique that helps kids feel braver, calmer, and a whole lot more in control of their big feelings.

When Maddy starts to worry about her first day of school, Mum doesn’t just hand her a banana and say, “You’ll be fine.” No, she brings out Teddy, the fluffiest, most unqualified therapist in the house. Together, they explore the Magical Tapping Tool—a gentle technique that uses tapping on special points of the body to turn “Uh-oh!” into “I’ve got this!”

🧸 By the end of the book, Maddy is not only tapping away her own fears, she’s helping other kids feel better too—because kindness and emotional resilience are contagious (in a good way).

🎒 Perfect for ages 5–9, this charming adventure:

• Teaches kids a practical way to deal with nerves, wobbles, and emotional spaghetti

• Introduces EFT tapping points through a fun and easy-to-follow story

• Encourages honesty about feelings, mindfulness, and mini acts of courage

• Supports grown-ups (that’s you!) to have calmer, more connected conversations

• Includes a bonus tapping guide and an invitation to write to the author—yes, real mail!

Whether it’s the first day of school, a wobbly tooth, or a mysterious green vegetable on the dinner plate, Tap on Teddy and the Magical Tapping Tool is here to help kids tap into their own inner superpowers.
