Story Reads: 26,088 One of the most challenging aspects of childhood is feeling strong emotions, and learning about how best to understand and manage those emotions.cute, but ive got no funny feelings for this one. ive never read a romance with both MCs being stand up comedians, so that part was interesting. i adored the mutual pining. it was hilarious reading the two of them pine for each other while thinking that their feeling was unrequited lol. like, jokes on you, pal! however, the romance felt all over the place mostly because the alternating past/present chapters was distracting for me, and i simply couldnt keep the timeline straight in my head. not to mention, the two of them were always friends; and, even though they became lovers, that dynamic only shifted/didnt notably change. so there wasnt a clear distinction (or i just didnt notice it) between their past & present.

One study I read also gave the example of an award-winning actor. They would never show emotions like an emoji face. And we often don’t either. Again, be careful with broad generalizations. Ways to set a good example―Kids will learn to put themselves in someone else’s shoes, lend a helping hand, and inspire others to do the same.Suzanne and Max Lang bring hilarity and levity to this very important lesson on emotional literacy, demonstrating to kids that they are allowed to feel their feelings. Jim the chimpanzee is in a terrible mood for no good reason. His friends can’t understand it–how can he be in a bad mood when it’s SUCH a beautiful day? They have lots of suggestions for how to make him feel better. But Jim can’t take all the advice…and has a BIT of a meltdown. Could it be that he just needs a day to feel grumpy?

The truth is that we can feel more than one feeling at a time — which we call both/and. We can feel both happy and sad. In this story, the little girl experiences different feeling combinations throughout her day. Scared and brave walking into her new classroom. Sad and mad when her friends won’t play with her. And she can feel and express her feelings with movement and art. This is an incredibly insightful book for children to help understand and regulate emotions. The beautiful illustrations and simple yet relatable language allow children to reflect upon their own thoughts and emotions. Although the style of this book seems to be aimed more towards key stage one, with a greater picture to word ratio, I believe this to be extremely beneficial for key stage two also. While it is an excellent book to have in the book corner/library of. Classroom, introducing the book into lessons would allow for children to create greater meaning from the book. The emotions within the book can be a centre of discussion for class and allow the children to explore their emotional selves within PHSE. Furthermore, this book could be used in support of literacy, to aid understanding of characters within other books. Lena is feeling BOTH nervous and outgoing. Lena tells her dad about her shoes feeling nervous. Her dad asks questions — doesn’t try to solve. Then, Lena figures out that her headband can talk to her shoes. Her dad gives them some space for her to work things out… The headband reminds the shoes of other times they all were scared and also brave. And that things worked out. Even though her shoes still feel a little nervous, they decide to be brave and go to school. And Lena is proud of them!She didn't have a happy life, a happy place, a world that made her feel whole and real. Not until she met Meyer, not until she made Hazel feel all the things she'd wanted to all her life. She lost her mother so young, and she became one for Hazel in all the best ways. So, I've had this book on my TBR for a while, and honestly I don't even know if I ever knew what it was about or if it was the cover that drew me in. Needless to say, I went in blind and ehh Toddlers will start to identify feelings in themselves and in others in this simple, clever book by a prominent preschool nonfiction author-illustrator. Sturdily crafted for small hands, this board book features beautiful, detailed spreads of panoramic views of the playground action, while close-ups focus on body language and facial expressions. I knew I’d like this and I certainly did!! It was really cute and so disgustingly heartwarming. It honestly had me all misty eyed at the end of the book because Meyer and Farley are just so perfect. CASEL identified five specific social emotional learning competencies for children, which are the following
