What You Might Be Facing . . .

You know your students are carrying more than just backpacks into the room.


A child acts out; most people think he or she is willfull, but what you’re really seeing is fear, frustration, or a cry for connection.

You notice peer dynamics that border on bullying, and you’re not sure how to intervene in a way that creates real change.

Some students seem checked out or anxious; and you wonder if they’re silently struggling with issues like emotional neglect or even racism.

Without emotional skills, many children struggle silently; impacting behavior, relationships, and learning.

You want to support their growth beyond academics, but no one gave you the tools to teach emotional resilience. You try your best to communicate with families, but wish you had a way to bring parents into the emotional development journey, too. If any of this sounds familiar—you are not alone.

You’re not failing. You’re facing a complex world where emotions matter as much as equations. And there is a way to meet it with grace, story, and impact.

What Happens When We Don't...

Emotions are avoided, not addressed?

Children learn to repress, not process. Pain gets passed down, instead of healed.

Adults aren’t modeling self-compassion?

Children don’t learn how to be kind to themselves. They learn to beat themselves up, question their worth, and believe love must be earned through perfection.

Discipline is about control, not connection?

Kids disconnect. Behavior may “improve” but wounds grow unseen.

Mistakes are treated as failures, not learning opportunities

Children become afraid to try. Fear of making a mistake becomes fear of being themselves — and curiosity, creativity, and resilience are lost.

What Happens When We Do...

Emotions are welcomed and felt?

Children learn emotional resilience. Every feeling becomes a doorway to wisdom, not something to fear or hide.

Self-love and presence are modeled?

Children show themselves kindness and courage. Mistakes become opportunities. They learn: “I am enough — even when I’m learning.”

Connection and emotional validation comes before correction?

Kids feel safe, seen, and willing to grow. Behavior shifts because hearts are understood.

Mistakes are embraced as opportunities?

Children discover that mistakes are stepping stones to wisdom, not marks of failure. Each “oops” becomes an invitation to explore, play, and grow — with self-love and confidence leading the way.

"The first book in The Bella Santini Chronicles, Bella Santini in the Land of Everlasting Change, is a gripping fairy tale and a guide to emotional intelligence for teens and pre-teens.

Bella is a relatable and engaging protagonist whose determination and independence make her a fantastic role model for readers. As well as modeling both emotional intelligence and consequences in the plotline, the book offers supplemental guidance for parents to support discussion and reading, from parenting advice to resources for exploring themes like bullying and sibling rivalry more deeply." – Dr. Jen Harrison, Children's Book Review
"This book is a life-changing masterpiece! It will empower children and allow them to understand themselves and the world in new ways. I strongly encourage all parents to get a copy!" – Louise Jane, CEO The Golden Wizard Book Prize
"Wow is this book ever needed! This is an incredibly powerful tool to help parents and educators protect our children and youth!" – Andy Benjamin
"A story of mastering one's own feelings and how to overcome obstacles in the way of your goals. Strong friendships are born. Bella is a character that I think many pre-teens will connect with. Not to say that this book is only for pre-teens because I thoroughly enjoyed every minute of it. The world-building was superb for an early reader chapter book. The character growth was done flawlessly. The plot was unique and held my attention the entire way through. Overall I really enjoyed it and can't wait to jump into the next book!" – The Momma Spot
"When readers follow Bella Santini on her adventures, they learn that love is the answer, no matter what the question!" – Jack Canfield; Co-author of Chicken Soup for the Soul
"Bella Santini in the Land of Everlasting Change" is a different slice of a fascinating new alternate universe, that should be included fare for Harry Potter fans." – Midwest Book review
