Join our MVP Kids in a page-flipping, mood-flopping discovery of feelings. Children will learn to name and express emotions, gaining self-awareness and coping skills as they experience the daily ups and downs of childhood. Our MVP Kids also share sign language expressions of their feelings, helping maximize communication with friends and caregivers.
Rhythmic, rhyming text playfully describes common situations in which children feel sad or happy, angry or peaceful, shy or friendly, scared or safe, and confused or confident. Children describe how their body feels, such as fast heart-rate, clenched fists, shaky legs or blushing and provide techniques for calming the body and regulating feelings. Sign language instructions provide readers with expressions for happy, sad, angry, and scared, equipping children can share their feelings when words are difficult. Teaching tips for caregivers provide helpful insight into developing a child's emotional intelligence, deep breathing, and other regulation techniques. One of the many important takeaways from the book is that challenging feelings are not bad, but rather helpful in indicating our needs.
This book showcases diversity in positive ways with characters that span various cultures, ethnicities, family situations, physical challenges and more.
