Review: Emotions can be complicated and confusing, especially for children. This book defines eight basic emotions: anger, fear, shame, sadness, happiness, love, disgust and surprise. It tells a story about a common situation which could trigger each emotion and encourages children to talk about their own experiences. Each section also includes some common reactions people have when they feel that particular emotion, and offers other situations aside from the one in the story which might trigger it.
This is a great tool for parents or teachers to use for starting discussions about feelings, whether in response to a specific event, or just in a general way.
I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review. All thoughts and opinions are entirely my own.
