By Emma Cahill

I am Irish Primary Teacher currently teaching abroad. I have recently written a book to help children recognise and manage their emotions in a safe and healthy way, as well as to remind children that it is normal to have emotions and we should be open to talking about them. Over my holidays, I have been calling in to Primary schools around Ireland to do free author visits and workshops to try and raise awareness for positive mental health in children. The book has proved especially beneficial for children with a range of learning difficulties. I was recently published in the Irish times which you can read here and the Gorey/ Wexford/ Enniscorthy papers here. The book has been read by and recommended by the clinical team at Pieta House, members of Child and Adolescent Mental Health Services (CAMHS), child psychologists, Music Therapists, Art Therapists, along with many educators. I am very lucky to also have the backing of Keith Duffy, Marty Guilfoyle and have had many more Irish celebrities including Suzanne Jackson and 'The Happy Pear' who have reached out to support the positive Mental Health of Irish children. I have also asked many children of different ages between 5 - 12 to read and I have received very positive feedback from this.
