Young children face daily challenges that require them to cope with
stressful situations. Some of these challenges may seem trivial to
adults, but to young children unable to regulate their own
emotions, they can be problematic. The Building Conceptual
PlayWorlds for Wellbeing set, comprising of a story book and
companion guide is for use with children aged between 4 and 8 and
is a conversation point for educators and parents to open
discussions with young children about managing their emotions and
coping with problems. In the vibrant and accessible The Lonely
Little Cactus storybook, children are introduced to a cactus that
feels lonely living in the desert. Through a series of colourful
interactions with desert dwellers, the little cactus learns
strategies to cope with feelings of loneliness. Both entertaining
and educational, the story showcases an array of coping strategies
and encourages the reader to try various approaches to managing
difficult situations and find strategies that best work for them.

PlayWorlds model of intentional teaching developed by Professor
Marilyn Fleer to provide supporting classroom- or home-based
activities to help children aged between 4 and 8 solve challenges
and learn wellbeing concepts through play. Offering imagery-rich
scenarios including 20 unique activities, children have an
opportunity to experientially grasp wellbeing concepts that can be
otherwise difficult to explain. This resource book guides educators
through a range of wellbeing activities including: Identifying
