Children like Miles, who experience chronic fatigue, often wonder why their energy feels unpredictable - full one day and empty the next. Parents, too, can feel unsure how to support their child without pushing too hard or holding them back.
Miles and the Mountain of Energy offers children and families a gentle, imaginative way to understand their energy limits. Guided by a wise and cheerful parrot companion, Miles discovers the secret of the Treasure Chest of Coins - a magical metaphor that helps him see his energy as something valuable, limited, and worth spending wisely.
Through their journey together, the parrot teaches Miles three Golden Rules for managing energy:
- Pacing - break big tasks into smaller steps and rest before running out of coins.
- Prioritising - choose which things truly matter; not every chore deserves your treasure.
- Adapting - find easier ways to do things and save energy for the adventures that count.
Along the way, Miles learns about recharging through restorative sleep and consistent bedtime routines, managing the emotional ups and downs of fatigue, and finding joy in meaningful activities like drawing maps. In the final scene, he proudly sketches his own Energy Mountain Map, showing how each coin helped him reach the top - one mindful step at a time.
This warm and hopeful story helps children understand the balance between effort, rest, and emotional wellbeing. It encourages self-awareness, pacing, and resilience while offering parents language and strategies to validate their child's experience.
Each Inner Harmony Haven book combines creative storytelling with evidence-based wellbeing practices, giving children and families accessible ways to strengthen body awareness, emotional regulation, and self-compassion.
A valuable resource for families, educators, and allied health professionals, Miles and the Mountain of Energy helps children aged 6-12 honour their limits, embrace rest without guilt, and celebrate progress - not perfection.
Series: Inner Harmony Haven: Children's Books for Big Feelings and Coping Skills - where imagination meets emotional learning through stories of co-regulation, compassion, and growth.
