How I Feel: 40 wellbeing activities for kids Reviews
-
I received an advance reader copy of this book to read in exchange for an honest review via netgalley and the publishers.
How I Feel is a children's workbook and guide to help them manage, recognise, and understand their feelings. People often seem to forget or not realise that children can be very uncertain and unsure about many things, including feelings and emotions, and don't always understand them or why they are feeling a certain way. This book is aimed at helping them to recognise emotions and feelings and find ways to manage them and get help when needed too. This is so child friendly and has the most adorable illustrations to keep the child engaged and interested too. There's tips for parents and carers spotted throughout, too, and some of the activity ideas related to each section are fantastic for home and even educational settings to try. -
Thoughts:
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. This is an amazing little resource for anyone who spends a significant amount of time with children. The beginning discusses general emotions and the importance of developing children’s understanding od their emotions and how to handle them. The following chapters look into specific important emotions for children such as happiness and bravery. Overall the book provides many different exercises to do with your child for the different emotions and when identifying emotions and it is definitely something will be referring to again in the future.
Favourite Quote:
"Sometimes it can be hard to know exactly how you feel. You might be grumpy or feel worried but don’t know why, and that can be confusing.
Talking about feelings makes them easier to understand."
