A glimpse inside the best children’s book

We ALL have feelings. Even our smallest children. The difference between their feelings and ours is that they can’t adequately express them or even understand them.

That is where this book comes in! I wrote this book to be the bridge between you and your child. This book is designed to make talking about feelings a normal part of life!

So often we think that feelings make us weak, when in fact, hiding feelings is where the weakness sneaks in. Sharing feelings is the true bravery. If we don’t share our feelings… how will our children learn to do so?

Today, find time to let your child know what you feel about them! Let your emotions show! Make talking about the feelings the new normal in your home! I promise as you do so, real change will follow!

... Read moreEmotional literacy is essential for kids' development. By introducing concepts of feelings early, we can empower our children to articulate their emotions, leading to healthier relationships in the long run. The book offers engaging activities, illustrations, and relatable scenarios that encourage parents and children to share their feelings openly. Incorporating emotional discussions into daily routines can also alleviate mental health struggles. Evidence suggests that children who express their emotions well are more resilient and adaptable in stressful situations. Moreover, using timeouts and quiet breaks to process feelings can provide them with valuable coping mechanisms. Don't wait for a breakdown to begin these conversations; start integrating emotional expression in positive times. Activities like drawing emotions or talking through daily events can establish a strong foundation. Remember, as parents, leading by example is crucial in shaping our child's emotional intelligence. By acknowledging your own feelings and discussing them openly, you demonstrate the importance of vulnerability and communication. In doing so, you become a role model, helping them understand that it's okay to feel and express those feelings.
