BOOK ONE IN THE BRAIN CHEMISTRY SERIES BY STEPH JENSEN

We've all had those head-scratching moments when a child goes from zero to meltdown in two seconds flat. Often, there's a tiny troublemaker behind it: cortisol. When cortisol spikes, small stuff can turn into big chaos, affecting everything from a kid's mood to how they grow and learn.

This down-to-earth guide for parents and educators helps kids ages 5–18 handle stress like champs. Each chapter explores one of the five Keys to Calm—Capable, Confident, Construct, Connect, and Contribute—blending relatable stories, simple brain science, and hands-on strategies you can use right away.
