Talking About Feelings

This book encourages children to understand and manage their changing feelings and emotions, and to talk confidently about how they are feeling.
 
This book has been designed to assist parents, caregivers, teachers and health professionals to help children understand what they are feeling and why they might feel that way, and to encourage them to talk about and describe their feelings and emotions in a non-pressured, guided and safe environment.
 
Providing children with the skills and words to express their feelings is key to helping them move forward in a positive way. ‘Talking About Feelings’ is the perfect book for parents, caregivers, educators and health professionals to help children unpack challenging emotions in an interactive and engaging way.
 
The adult who is using this book with the child needs to follow the child's lead in order to have a meaningful and authentic discussion. Talking about challenging emotions and accumulating a ready bank of 'feeling' words helps a child to better express their emotions rather than act them out through negative behaviours.
