Description

From the best-selling author of How Are You Feeling Today comes a picture book that sensitively deals with developing emotional intelligence in young children and supports them to manage difficult emotions. Young children can find it really frustrating when they are unable to express their emotions. Molly Potter covers a range of different emotions to help children name and explain exactly what they are feeling. Written to encourage children not to suppress their emotions, this picture book teaches little ones to acknowledge enjoyable feelings and get better at responding to unenjoyable ones. Perfect for starting those all-important conversations, It's OK to Cry includes colourful illustrations, child-friendly strategies and vocabulary for managing feelings and helpful notes for parents, carers and practitioners. Lets Talk books help you start meaningful conversations with your child. Written by an expert and covering topics like feelings, relationships, diversity and mental health, these comforting picture books support healthy discussion right from the start.

Reviews

A must-have for all primary classrooms and homes in which parents want their boys to be able to express how they are feeling in a calm and open manner. * Reading Zone *
The book deals with positive and negative feelings and how all children can take steps to deal with them. The illustrations are colourful, diverse and inclusive, pages are not too text heavy, and there are plenty of ideas and concepts to explore further. * The School Librarian *
