Tiny Tia's world
Hello my dear readers - welcome to my world!
Here you will meet all of my friends!
Magic Tear
Tiny Tia
I am Tiny Tia!
I am the leader of our Tears and our Storm Starters.
You also call them emotions!
I would like to help all of us to:
a) know it is not only good but also healthy for us to cry,
b) identify which emotion we are feeling when we are crying and
c) work out an action plan for each Storm Starter.
Our emotions can be confusing and overwhelming, so let us prepare ourselves for when the next Storm comes!
Because they always do! :)
Let our Tears flow, so we can grow!
Storm Starter
Misty
Oh, our Misty is a sensitive little teardrop with a huge and tender heart!
Misty wells up so easily!
Above all, Misty loves helping others.
Bad things such as selfishness, bullying or harming others make Misty really sad.
Once Misty becomes sad, not even its yellow hanky can dry its tears!
Often, Misty wishes it would not feel so deeply about everyone and everything.
But our Misty is learning that it is ok to feel sad and that being sensitive is a huge strength, not a weakness.
Such tender hearts and tear drops must be loved and cherished with the utmost care.
Storm Starter
Stompy
No matter what time of day, our Stompy is always angry with something or at somebody!
No one can rant and rave, stomp and shout like our anger- tear, Stompy!
Then, little horns grow on each side of its head and they blink furiously.
Just like the lights on a fire engine!
When everything gets too much,
Stompy simply boils over and blows its top!
Often steam spills out of Stompy's ears at the same time.
Just like a kettle!
It's wild!
Can we tame Stompy at all??
Storm Starter
Jumpy
What an excitable, fearless and mischievous teardrop our Jumpy is!!
Always climbing and swinging around outdoors.
Jumpy is hasty too!
That means many falls, bumps and boo-boos.
Jumpy loves band-aids and always wears them with great pride!
In time, Jumpy learns many fun ways to chill out and be more relaxed.
Because feeling calm feels great!
Storm Starter
Whiny
Whiny, oh Whiiiinyyyy!!
Our Whiny is a very frustrated teardrop and still needs its dummy and a lollipop to soothe itself!
When Whiny doesn't get its way, it screams and shouts and whines and wails!
Yet often all Whiny needs, is food and sleep!
How can we train Whiny's temper?
Whiny is also best friends
with Raggie-Reggie.
Both love to hatch out plans on how to cause the most trouble!
Storm Starter
Timidy
Our Timidy is a very, very shy teardrop.
Timidy is afraid of everything - even its own shadow!
To protect itself, Timidy has grown long spikes on its forehead!
Little Timidy is learning that it is ok to feel fear.
All of us are afraid sometimes.
It takes great courage to face what scares us.
And often, once we brave it, we find it was not so scary after all!
Happy Peppy
Happy Peppy is our happy teardrop!
Peppy is always happy, shaking and crying with laughter!
Happy Peppy never even frowns and spreads joy wherever it goes.
Peppy's most favourite thing to do is dance, wiggling its big, round belly!!
Just where does it get all the bouncy energy from?
Often, we will find Happy Peppy playing with best friend Gustav Glowworm in the magic meadow.
Gustav Glowworm
That little Gustav Glowworm!
What a smart cookie he is!!
Gustav is the only one of his kind!
He is hip, trendy, and super clever!
Gustav loves sport, especially Yoga!
Exercising gives him many ideas!
Then, his bum starts to light up and glows as bright as a lightbulb!
Gustav's bestie is Happy Peppy.
Both go together like peas and carrots!
Mikey
Mikey lives in London, loves playing football with his friends the most.
Our Mikey can be a little hot head and the Storm Starters visit regularly.
Sometimes it feels as if they come all at once - it can be so confusing!
Currently, I am helping Mikey identify and manage his Storm Starters.
Once Mikey can spot which rascal has started his storm, I will show him how to soothe and reassure that little scallywag.
Then Mikey can play with his friends again!
Manny Moon
Manny Moon is my best friend.
He always listens patiently, as only best friends do.
Manny Moon shines brightly and absorbs all of my worries - which are the upsets of the people here on planet earth.
Manny Moon has many faces!
Sometimes, he looks like a big, round, silvery shimmering ball.
At other times, he looks like a banana!
And when Manny Moon goes to sleep, we don't see him at all!
The Magic Dumbrella
This nifty little thing flies me across the world so I can help everyone untangle their confusing emotions.
The Magic Dumbrella comes from the species of the Magic Dandelions.
It sparkles brightly and looks as if covered in thousands of diamonds!!
But those are the shed tears of people I have helped.
Sometimes the Magic Dumbrella is naughty and blows me about whilst flying!!!
We have many bumpy landings!
The Magic Dandelion
The Magic Dandelion only grows in my magic meadow!!
Everything is brighter here:
the grass, the flowers, the sky, the sun.
All of my friends live in the magic meadow too and we often play together.
Each spring, many new parachutes grow from the Magic Dandelion.
They blossom in every colour under the sun and Mr Wind loves to blow them about wildly!
But only my Dumbrella has the Magic!
