Sometimes I Feel Wronged Children's Book

“Sometimes I Feel Wronged” is a valuable addition to the Resilience Range, a series of engaging books designed to help children understand and manage their emotions. This thoughtful title focuses on the complex and often overlooked feeling of being wronged or treated unfairly—an emotion that many young children experience in their daily interactions. Through simple language, relatable scenarios, and expressive illustrations, this book helps children recognise when they feel wronged, why these feelings arise, and how to respond in calm, constructive ways. Whether it's a misunderstanding with a friend, a perceived injustice during play, or feeling excluded, the book offers children a safe framework for processing these experiences. It introduces techniques such as talking to a trusted adult, using “I feel” statements, and thinking about different perspectives to encourage problem-solving and empathy. The narrative also reinforces that fairness doesn’t always mean sameness and helps children consider how others may feel in similar situations. Perfect for both classroom and home environments, this resource supports social-emotional learning by fostering emotional intelligence, communication skills, and reflective thinking. “Sometimes I Feel Wronged” offers practical support for young learners to navigate emotional challenges with confidence and care.
