Book Recomendations: Three Helpful Stories About Managing Big Emotions

The Way I Feel Pack:
The Caldecott Honor-winning When Sophie Gets Angry shows that everyone gets out of control sometimes, and a little solitude can help. Sophie is upset because her little sister grabbed her toy and made her fall over. She's ready to roar, but instead makes the choice to go outside. Climbing a favorite tree and listening to the birds, she is able to calm down. And when she finally comes home, she isn't angry anymore.

The Way I Feel is a perennial bestseller that helps children identify their stressful feelings—and think about constructive ways of managing them. Playful rhymes and evocative illustrations describe jealousy, disappointment, anger, and more, and remind kids that it's not okay to hit, yell, or hurt other people. Also included is a note to parents on how to talk about feelings with children.

Strong emotions can be overwhelming to young children—and they can be difficult to talk about. But discussing the situation of a character in a story is not threatening and can be an excellent way to introduce these issues. Keep these books on hand for times when children need to talk about how to cool down!
