EXPRESSING AND UNDERSTANDING FEELINGS
To help your child process their feelings, I have made a list of some things they can do to express themselves. You can get paper and make a booklet by putting one of the prompts on the top of each page and having your child draw or write what it asks. Then, you can make it into a book, and they
can decorate a cover.
I would love to see the book when it is finished! You can take pictures of the pages and email them to me at [email protected]. It is my hope this will help children express their feelings and begin to understand them.
