Teachers and Parents
Hello, my name is Rebecca
I'm the author of four upcoming children's books focusing on emotional wellbeing in the E-motions Series: ‘Scaredy Bear’s Courageous Tale’, ‘Sad Seal Saves the Day', ‘Wilma the Worried Worm,’ and 'George the Jealous Giraffe'.
The books are designed to help children in KS1 to explore and understand their emotional wellbeing in a fun and engaging way, also supporting the PHSE Curriculum.
FREE READING SESSIONS for Primary Schools
As the books have not yet been published, I am offering free storytime sessions to schools interested in exploring these resources. These sessions will provide an opportunity for your pupils to engage with the stories firsthand and for you to see the potential benefits of incorporating them into your teaching.
Books and Activities Designed to Help Both Children and Teacher
With the increasing emphasis on mental health and emotional wellbeing in schools, these books, games and activity sheets offer valuable resources to support children's emotional development within the PHSE Curriculum.
Each story is accompanied with teacher notes and engaging activities, providing guidance on how the books can be integrated into your curriculum to promote discussions and activities around emotional literacy.
Welcome to the E-motions Stories and Activities

FREE Sessions that are Fun and Engaging
As a trainer with over 20 years experience, I have lots of resources to help to teach the deeper meaning of the stories in a fun and engaging way.
I can draw the emotions for the children to guess them, we can play Bingo, interactive team card games, or they can enjoy colouring in the activity sheets. I'll tailor the sessions to meet your needs.
Resources to Help Children, Teachers and SENCO
Card Games to Teach Emotions
I can bring 2 sets of 32 E-motion cards that can be used to play various games such as snap, pairs or charades.
​
E-motions Bingo can also be a fun and interactive way for the children to become familiar with the different emotions.
​
Teaching Resources for Teachers and SENCO
Teaching resources such as the E-motions Ladder, teach children how some emotions feel lower than others, i.e. fear is low, whereas calm is higher, helping them to self-regulate and find a quicker way to calm.
There are SENCO support notes and colouring in books too as well as Flash Cards that give easy to understand explanations for each of the emotions.
The E-motion Characters - 16 Common Emotions
Hi, I'm Rebecca Bishop
In my extensive experience as a holistic therapist, I've witnessed remarkable transformations as clients release layers of pain and trauma from their childhood.
This led me to question 'if we mainly operate from our subconscious (which was mostly programmed before the age of seven), then why not work with young children and make an impactful change that will serve them for the rest of their lives?'.
As a qualified NLP Master Practitioner, Energy Alignment Method Mentor, and RQF Level 5 Trainer, my own journey of self-discovery revealed a significant obstacle to healing: an inability to fully feel emotions, which throughout my 20’s and 30’s resulted in often feeling low and depressed.
​Rooted in core beliefs such as ‘it's wrong to feel anger’, ‘angry people are bad,’ and ‘it’s not acceptable to cry’ I learned to suppress my emotions and instead, perceived the world as a frightening place.
This approach, stemming from my own journey and informed by my work with clients, addresses a significant barrier to how we were taught about emotions and stands as a powerful solution in nurturing emotional resilience and wellbeing from a young age.
What Teachers are Saying
Great for PHSE lessons
"These stories are fantastic for young children with their lovable characters and captivating storylines.
They would be great to use in PSHE lessons with children who may be struggling with different emotions, as well as being enjoyed by the whole class during story time".
Miss Bonner, former Assistant Head of Barrow Hall Primary School, currently Education Specialist at Findel
Children were engaged throughout
​​ "Children loved the rhyming and were engaged throughout the whole story. The visuals were very engaging.
​​​
Emotions – currently a big push for speech and language (particularly for children with SEND - additional needs) to understand emotions and self-regulation. We printed some of the slides and my TA did some drawing of the characters and discussion with our children on Speech and Language".​
Mr Porter, Reception Teacher, (Read to Reception Class) Evelyn Street Primary School.
Children learn how to deal
with their Fears
"The story was simple and easy to follow for young children due to the use of rhyme and colourful pictures.
Your deliver was great as the children were engaged from the start due to you wearing the bear ears and neckerchief.
Children were introduced to lots of different fears that they could relate to but most importantly, how to deal with their fears"
Ms Palfreyman (SENCO) and Ms Grogan, Reception Teachers, Cobbs Infant and Nursery.
