Everybody Feels

Introduce your child to the concept of feelings with this engaging book. Using pictures of real people expressing emotion, it offers a simple way for kids to talk about their feelings. Let’s face it, there is no class that teaches us about our emotions. Yet, feelings are something we experience every day of our life. By validating your child’s feelings (“You look really sad.”) you are letting the child know that expressing their emotions is acceptable. Unexpressed emotions, especially uncomfortable ones, like anger or fear, can build up inside a person and lead to unhealthy coping skills. Give your child the gift of freedom and empowerment by teaching them that it is okay to cry, shout, or be afraid. Help them understand what it means to feel these things and how to identify feelings in themselves and others.
