Additional Information
The book is intended for anyone who spends time with children, including teachers, learning mentors, therapists, and parents. Many of the activities creatively explore a sense of personal power, helping children take responsibility for their emotions and actions. More complex feelings such as jealousy, pride, and embarrassment are examined, encouraging children to define these feelings in both words and drawings. When children understand what causes strong emotional reactions, they are better able to manage their feelings in an appropriate way.
