The Emp Detective: First Case Workbook is a gentle, developmentally appropriate structured starting point for teaching emotional literacy to children.
Children are supported to explore emotions through fun and engaging characters (the Emps), body-based awareness, shared reflection, and practical regulation tools. The workbook models investigation first, before inviting children to create their own case files.
Through shared examples, guided case files, and playful investigation, children learn that:
emotions are signals, not problems
support and coregulation helps emotions settle
It is suitable for use in schools, therapeutic settings, and home environments, and aligns well with ELSA and early intervention approaches.
