Learning coping skills for big feelings isn't just knowing how to use them - they need to be practiced so that they come easier when they are needed. I suggest practicing Riley's new skills with your children through reading the book but also utilizing the pages in the back to "help you help them."
Today's Story is all about emotions that can make you feel low - like Anger or Sadness. Louie the Elephant is feeling a few new feelings that he will learn how to cope with. Whether it's his sister hiding his shoe or his drawing not coming out the way he wants it to, Louie begins to understand more about these emotions.
It's a BONUS Halloween Story time because I LOVE this spooky story from my good friend Em Varosky and her friend Amanda Grafe - My Best Ghoulfriend 🧟♀️ This story is just spooky enough for the little ones and you can get your very own at https://www.etsy.com/listing/877888785/my-best-ghoulfriend-childrens-halloween 🦇
Today's story is My Body Sends a Signal by Natalia Maguire - this book is FULL of great ways to introduce kids to the idea that ALL emotions are valid. It gives helpful hints on how to react to their Anger and that it is perfectly normal to feel it.
