LOS ANGELES, CA, February 20, 2026 /24-7PressRelease/ -- After transforming the emotional lives of more than 4,000 families, educators, therapists, and children across Netherlands and Belgium, Jacqueline Tournier's groundbreaking psychoeducational book YOU and Stress… The Brain Explained has officially launched into the global English-speaking market; poised to become an international movement in emotional awareness, child-parent connection, and stress literacy.

- Daycare centers and youth-support workers
- Coaches, social workers, and healthcare professionals
- Any adult or child who has ever felt overwhelmed by emotions they couldn't understand or explain

WHY THIS BOOK IS ABOUT TO CHANGE THE WORLD
Stress is universal.
Understanding it should be simple, visual, and accessible to everyone—not just those with a psychology background.

Jacqueline Tournier; systemic family therapist, child psychologist, Symbol Drama therapist, EFT-certified practitioner, HeartMath coach, and mother of three (including a daughter with Down syndrome) who has spent over 15 years at FlowinGrow, her therapeutic practice dedicated to helping children and families understand trauma, attachment, fear, anger, stress, and emotional overload.

Her mission, both in her practice and on her website, is clear:
Everyone deserves to understand their stress and what happens to our brain and behavior.
Adults. Children. Families. Educators. The world.
And with this book; she made that possible.

THE OWL, THE DOLPHIN & THE CROCODILE
A three-animal metaphor changing how the world understands stress.

Through full-color illustrations, Jacqueline introduces three memorable "brain characters":
- The Owl Brain (cortex) — the thinker
- The Dolphin Brain (limbic system) — the feeler
- The Crocodile Brain (brainstem) — the survival reactor

This metaphor, now central to Jacqueline's international workshops and trainings, gives children and adults a simple visual language to explain why we fight, flee, freeze, or fawn, and how to return to emotional safety.

The book includes:
- A calming breathing exercise
- Movement and grounding tools
- Step-by-step stress-relief strategies
- A free downloadable workbook
- Visuals that help children "see" what's happening inside their brain
