“Emotions & Me” is an informative book for all kids. After you and your kiddo(s) read the book, spark conversations with them. 💭👦🏾👶🏽👧🏼🧒🏻👧🏿

- What did they learn while reading the book ?
- What coping skills do they feel they would enjoy when their sad or angry ? What makes them happy ?
- Who are the adults around them that they trust and know love them, so their able to come to them anytime they feel sad ?
- Do they understand the difference between positive and negative emotions ?
- Do they understand they are not alone and other people also experience negative feelings?

These are all great questions to ask children. Starting conversations about negative and positive feelings enhances understanding and helps kids feel seen/heard. 🙆🏽‍♀️
It’s important your child knows regardless of how they are feeling, you will not judge them for that. As parents and older siblings we understand the importance of mental health awareness. It’s important they know it’s safe to share information with you. When kids know they won’t be punished for their feelings, they’ll be more open to sharing information. 💕
