Exploring Emotions

How you can help children to recognise and talk about their feelings

by Ros Bayley & Kay Margetts

If children are to become emotionally competent adults, able to understand and have mastery over their feelings, it is essential that this important work begins in the early years. It is a fundamental part of enabling children to be sensitive to the feelings of others, and a key element of all other emotional skills.

This book takes a sensitive look at the whole range of human emotions and shows how to help children to recognise and talk about them.

The book:

• gives ideas for using puppets, toys, pictures and photographs
• suggests games to play and stories to use
• provides scenarios to explore
