Primary teacher and co-founder of a mental health venture, Alice Peel, says it's ok for children to feel low from time to time.
She wants kids to understand the feeling is normal , and that there are tools to deal with those moments.
Her new book lays out the science of the brain and replaces parts with animals - making brain functions easier to understand and remember for children.
Topics include how to get out of a trap, how to be brave and how to be resilient when you don't want to be.
Her book is called How to be a (fantastic sensational) good enough kid.
