Teaching kids stoicism. Easy as 1, 2, 3!

Introducing "Tiny Stoics: Connect the Dots & Discover Wisdom"

Merry (belated) Christmas and welcome to 2025! 🎄✨

Wow, what a year 2024 was! Things just keep getting busier, don't they? Or is it just me?

In the hustle and bustle of everyday life, I often find myself juggling a million things, trying to carve out some time to just breathe. But then I realise, maybe I should just breathe all the time, right?

One thing that helps me when I feel overwhelmed is creating things. And that's how "Tiny Stoics: Connect the Dots & Discover Wisdom" came to be.

If you have children aged 3-5, or know someone who does, keep reading.

Navigating life with toddlers can be quite the adventure. One moment they’re full of joy, and the next they’re having a meltdown over a piece of toast cut the wrong way. We’ve all been there.

While I can’t offer a manual, I’m excited to introduce "Tiny Stoics: Connect the Dots & Discover Wisdom". This dot-to-dot book for children aged 3-5 combines fun activities with meaningful stories to help young minds grasp important principles in a relatable way.

What is "Tiny Stoics"?

Each page of this unique book features a simple dot-to-dot activity on one side and a short story about animal characters who exemplify virtues like patience, bravery, and kindness on the other. Think of a wise tree, a patient turtle, and a brave lion teaching children how to manage emotions and handle life’s challenges.

Why Stoicism for Toddlers?

I know, introducing Stoic concepts to toddlers might sound ambitious. But this book presents these ideas in a way that children can understand. By offering tools to cope with emotions like anger and disappointment, these stories plant seeds of wisdom early on. For example, a story about a mountain standing strong in a storm illustrates resilience, while a fox story teaches delayed gratification.

The book also gently introduces concepts of kindness and fairness through relatable narratives and serves as a reminder for adults to slow down and focus on what truly matters.

The Perfect Gift

"Tiny Stoics" makes a thoughtful and unique gift for birthdays, holidays, or any special occasion. It encourages meaningful conversations and shared moments between parents and children, making it much more than just another activity book.

Spread the Word

If your kids are older than 5, feel free to move on. But if you know friends or family with toddlers, please share this with them. It’s a wonderful introduction to the Huddle Wisdom way.
