Leave Me Alone!

A Good Inside Story About Deeply Feeling Kids

By: Becky Kennedy, Joanie Stone

Narrated by: Becky Kennedy

#1 New York Times Bestselling author Dr. Becky is back with a new audiobook about a deeply feeling kid and what happens when her emotions take over—and how her mom can help her know that she is safe.

Leave Me Alone! offers an immersive audio experience, fully sound designed to enhance your enjoyment. Listen out for the musical expressions of Pia’s big feelings and the steady, rhythmic ticking of the clock in her bedroom. Sit back and delight in this incredible audiobook experience! This program is read by the author.

Nothing makes Pia happier than playing secret agents with her brother, Charlie. Until . . . an unexpected stumble . . . Did she just ruin the game?! Her body freezes. Her heart pounds. All the feelings in her body start bubbling up, and she explodes.

Pia is a Deeply Feeling Kid (DFK). DFKs experience emotions with intensity. Their big reactions to seemingly small events can feel sudden and overwhelming, and attempts to help them often backfire. These are the kids who seem tough and prickly on the outside . . . yet underneath, they’re scared and overwhelmed, struggling to manage feelings that seem too big for their bodies.

Parenting a DFK can feel like walking on eggshells—never sure what might set things off, always bracing for the next explosion. Dr. Becky has created an approach that helps caregivers stay sturdy, build connection, and become the safe base their kid needs—even in the hardest moments.

Audiobooks from parenting expert Dr. Becky do more than tell a story: They depict real, messy moments and share an important message for kids and parents alike.

Wow my kids felt this one!

Dr Becky my 6 year old who is a delayed communicator said “this is me!” She felt so seen and was able to start the conversation of the phrases in this book she felt deeply. And even that it scared her a bit to work through those feelings! My 4 year old really enjoyed hearing the ending and the conversation we were able to have about the supports he has at home. My Dr Becky is a genius and these kids books she has been writing have spoke to my kids so much!
Don’t miss out on these for your family!
