Feelings are like waves; they rise and rise and after a while they drift away.
A resource to help your young children manage their feelings of anger, anxiety, frustration. My daughter is a parents as teacher where she helps parents deal with their children feelings. As parents, we need to teach children that these feelings are normal but they need help dealing with them. As parents, we can make big mistakes that can affect our children for a life time and ultimately affect our relationship with them. Emotions are not to be denied but to be dealt with. With mental health such an issue now, it may be that we have not raised our children to deal with these emotions in a healthy way.
I did receive an ARC and unfortunately, I did not have the illustrations, however, I appreciate the message that emotions are valid. This is a read out loud book to work with your child to identify emotions and the simple things we can do to relieve anxiety. Such as breathing. The important message in this book is that a child is not alone. As an adult with children, this may resonate with you that you don't want your children growing up with emotions that are harmful to their mental well being. If you are an advocate for mental well being, this may help for a solution.
A Special Thank you to Madeleine Matthews and Netgalley for the ARC and the opportunity to post an honest review
