Too often kids' feelings get ignored. This series helps children and adults accept and acknowledge their emotions. It also helps them distinguish between feelings and actions. Even more important, the stories give kids several ways to cope with feelings. They also allow parents and teachers to discuss other situations in a nonjudgmental way.Sometimes we feel with our bodies. We're warm or cold, sore or tired. Sometimes we feel with our hearts and minds. We're hurt when we're left out, happy when we get a hug, shy when we don't know anyone.This easy-to-read book helps children understand the difference between physical and emotional feelings. It uses situations typical of a child's life to describe emotions like excitement, shyness, guilt and jealousy.Says Karen Johnsen, author of The Trouble with Secrets, "If children learn to recognize their feelings when they are young, they gain a skill that will help them understand and cope with life as adults".
