Today's story is "My Magical Feelings" - part of "The Magic of Me" series by Becky Cummings. Sometimes we read stories about specific emotions and sometimes about ALL the emotions. This story uses great descriptive moments that can evoke a specific feeling. And that each feeling is OKAY.
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.
