Outside of being a mother to a preschool-aged boy who at times has some BIG emotions to work through, I also have a background as an elementary education teacher with a reading endorsement and years of experience in schools, daycares, and as a nanny.

 

As instances of anxiety and depression in children and teens continue to skyrocket, it is crucial we begin these conversations early and start an open dialogue about what kids are feeling and how they can be responsible for self-regulation. Feeling emotions is okay, we just have to understand them, too. I hope you and your kiddo enjoy this book and find some learning opportunities along with some joy.
