What Am I Feeling?: a book about complex emotions

Children generally grasp generic emotions like happy, sad, and mad very early on, but there is still so much to teach them about the complexities of feelings. By helping your child put a name to what they are experiencing, they will be more equipped to handle themselves with care and treat themselves, and others, with compassion!

Ariella Wolfe is a mother and educator, with experience in grades K-12, who works with children of all backgrounds! From ELL students, to students with disabilities, or even gifted learners, she found a similar reoccurring theme when it came to outbursts of behavior- the children didn't fully understand their emotions and were unable to verbalize what they felt inside. As adults, we are able to express out emotions to receive validation and often expect children to be able to do the same, but many need some coaching along the way. What Am I Feeling? has been successfully used by Ariella for years, but now it is available to all of you! This book helps children to recognize thoughts and physical sensations and correlate them to an emotion in an engaging and FUN way. At the end of the story, there is an assortment of activity pages for children to practice their social/ emotional skills.
