Frequently asked questions

What is included in the Emotional Safety Social Story Set?

This collection includes 15 printable social stories thoughtfully created to support autistic and neurodivergent children with emotions, worries, big feelings, rest, connection and emotional safety. Each story uses gentle, reassuring language and child-friendly illustrations to encourage understanding and self-awareness.
What age group are these social stories suitable for?

The stories are designed primarily for young children in the early and primary school years. Every child is different, so parents, carers, educators and therapists can choose the stories that best suit the individual child’s needs, understanding and stage of development.
How can I use these stories to support my child?

The stories can be read together during calm moments, after a difficult experience, or when preparing for situations that may bring big feelings. There is no need to read them in order. Choose the story that feels most relevant, follow your child’s lead and revisit favourite stories whenever they provide comfort or reassurance.
What does “emotional safety” mean in these stories?

Emotional safety is about helping children feel accepted, understood and supported while experiencing their emotions. These stories gently reinforce that feelings are allowed, needing a break is okay, trusted adults can help, and children can learn about their emotions without judgement or pressure.
Are these stories a replacement for professional support?

No. These stories are supportive educational resources and are not intended to diagnose, treat or replace medical, psychological or therapeutic advice. They can be used alongside appropriate professional support to encourage connection, emotional understanding and gentle conversations with children.
