Teaching your Child Their Feeling

Description

Nobody taught us the language of feelings. This book does.

Fifty feelings, fifty stories. In every one, a grown-up notices that something has changed, sits down beside their child, gives the feeling a name, and helps them understand where it comes from. Together they practise going through it, so that next time it comes, the child handles it a little more wisely, and a little more bravely.

From jealousy to grief, from fear to forgiveness, each story follows a real family through a moment every parent recognises, and ends with simple words you can borrow in your own voice. Written for children from toddlers to early teens, this is a book you don’t need to read in order. Simply look up the feeling your child has today, and read it together.

Because feelings are for life. And a parent and a child who learn this language side by side don’t just grow up, they grow closer.
