Hat Business: Fun Stories for Kids

Today, Ruby wakes up with a body full of excitement that just won’t sit still. Her legs feel like popcorn, her thoughts are racing, and everything feels a bit… too much. With the gentle help of Ollie (and Hat, of course), she learns that excitement isn’t something to get rid of — it’s something you can hold gently so your body can keep up.

This cosy, playful story helps kids learn how to:
✨ Notice when their body feels too buzzy
✨ Understand what excitement feels like inside
✨ Use a simple calming technique to slow things down
✨ Regulate big feelings without squashing the good ones

Perfect for:

Morning routines before school
Car rides
Kids who feel everything BIG
And little bodies that sometimes go faster than their feelings can handle

🧠 Social-Emotional Learning focus:
Excitement, emotional regulation, body awareness

🧢 Hat Business is a fun, gentle kids podcast helping children understand their feelings, build emotional skills, and feel safe with big emotions.
