This kids impulse control and children behavior book is written based on the interpersonal biology, attachment parenting psychology, and no-drama discipline and it is written in verse. The story explains the benefits of brain integration and celebrates the role of connection with the primary caregiver.
Also, this impulsivity book for kid helps with your conscious parenting effort, by offering a scientific perspective on temper tantrums. The story line supports mindful parenting by explaining what happens during a tantrum.
▶Characters
Wrinkles is an adorable and well balanced elephant, and Flappy is a cute and energetic dragon who live together in wondrous world, filled with mysteries. They are special in their own way and they have super-powers. When the alarm gets triggered, Wrinkles and Flappy get separated, and their mission is in jeopardy.
▶How it works?Through these characters, this story helps children to learn about their brain, to understand their brain dynamic during a challenging situation whey big emotions are involved and a technique of integrating the ‘upstairs brain’ with the ‘down stairs brain’ which becomes the brain game for kids calm.
In this book, you will learn the two secrets that brought Flappy & Wrinkles back together, and helped them accomplish their mission.
▶What is the message in this childrens behavior book?A message for the parents: children’s brains are developing and during this time, they learn everything, including how to deal with emotions. Learning and growth can only happen once the need for safety is fulfilled.
Big emotions that arise everyday are not a palpable thing, but they are perceived and felt as a very real threat. This is why kids need help in learning how to deal with ‘big emotional situations’
▶How can this book help? It is easier for children to create copingstrategies, when they have some practical things to represent abstract notions.So children will get in touch with their more evolved part of their brain,symbolically embodied by Wrinkles; they will get to know his strengths and howto tap into this resource (an oversimplification of the prefrontal cortex).
Second, children will learn that they also hold a marvelous part of the brain, symbolically represented by Flappy, aka the reptilian brain, primarily concerned with survival.
The story line gets them separated (this is when the alarm happens); and this happens to children and parents every day:when leaving the park, when not getting the second ice-cream, when the favorite pajamas are not available etc. You know it! This story gets to see behind the scenes of a temper tantrum.
This book will enable you to look at the situation from another angle: the benefits of brain integration.
The dialog between Wrinkles and Flappy is intended to create the habit of digging deeper into finding out what happened and telling the story.
Lyrics are a fun way for children remember to ‘tell the story’ so that they learn to process events and emotions. And the beauty of it all – with practice, Wrinkles only gets stronger, which means your child improves in self-regulation!

I like the layout of the book. It explains ahead of time how to connect the characters to the purpose of the book. Then afterwards, it reinforces it all through prompts and examples.
I like that it has a little workbook area to prompt parents/guardians to think through how their children respond to different situations. I like that it also brings up the strength of the connection between the guardian and child and how that relationship will help reinforce the guidance of dealing with various situations and emotions.
A great educational book for young children. I actually read this to my daughter and she loved the illustrations and I liked the important lessons learned.
I liked that this book is written in rhyme, as I think sometimes that helps everyone remember things. I did not really like where on some pages it said (w) or (f) for who was speaking, it took me a minute to figure it out, so I think that might be confusing to a kid reading the book. The ideas of what the author is trying to get across – helping your child learn, deal and avoid triggers that may invoke tantrums or anger is great. I like how the exercises give you options, and the red part of the story shows how Flappy was feeling when separated from Wrinkles. I believe this book could help all ages though!
Another good book that my daughter really enjoyed.
Everyone has different ways of dealing with emotions, but when you have help and understand how to handle these emotions they can be more manageable, especially for children.
My daughter especially liked seeing the pictures in this book, because elephants are one of her favorite animals.
If there is any complaint on this, for her reading level (she’s in first grade) there were quite a few words that she didn’t know how to pronounce or read. After awhile she also got a bit tired of reading because there was so much on each page that I ended up having to finish reading to her.
Cute way to explain to children how to control themselves without over stimulating them with explanation and confusion. Very well done.
This was a cute story that my 5yr old enjoyed. I’m not sure he totally got the moral of the story but anytime he asks me to re-read a book I call it a win. A slightly older child might really get meaning better.
Great book on helping a child who is in distress with anger. I enjoyed the read.
The content of this book is good. The poems are cute and I really liked the pictures. The vocabulary is a little hard for young children to understand. Parents, educators and caretakers can help children learn impulse control. I am a special ed teacher for students with emotional and behavioral needs. I plan to introduce this book to my students as well as my own children.
I thought this was a great book and would be useful and helpful to all children. I like how the author uses rhyming to help young children understand this better and let them know the different ways they can calmly solve their issues.
I thought this book written in a poetry format wouldn’t be a good choice for the age range given. The story itself was cute and with more basic words would be good for young children. I also didn’t like The letters of the names of who was speaking it read like a play script. The parent information sounded good and like it would be helpful. I think it would have been better to put it all at the end or beginning and not have it split up though.
I loved this gorgeously illustrated book which teaches children life lessons. A parent reading with their child will find this book fun, with a storyline including a Dragon! Fun rhymes just a great read to share with a child. Recommended for younger children to middle school.
As a mom of two girls, and one that struggles with a short temper. This will become a staple read in our house to remind ourselves of boundries & find better ways to react!
The point of this book is to help kids with impulse and anger control. The story was cute and a quick read.
I thought the illustrations were nice but I think younger kids would have trouble understanding some of the vocabulary. My three year old wasn’t interested in what I was reading to her but did enjoy looking at the pictures and asking questions about those.
I have two special needs grandchildren and I thought it was very good. I think it can be age ok for any age struggling it just depends on how you read it to them or have them read it. Its bright and give great lessons
This was a super cute children’s story. My only issue is that some of the vocabulary is above what I would expect a young child to know/understand. Great message in the story!
This would be great for my granddaughter
Colorful illustrations! I enjoyed the rhymes of the story and felt that this good to read as an adult to help children understand their feelings. Wrinkles and Flappy are good examples of putting a name to their roles and problem solving through a puzzle added to this story.
This should be required reading for children and their parents.
