My First Emotions Workbook Summary
During the early years (around the ages of 3-8 years) children are becoming aware of their basic emotions and this workbook can be used together with 'My First Emotion Stones'.
There is a fun poem with pictures for each of the eight emotions suitable to this age group (happy, sad, angry, worried, scared, surprised, safe and proud), followed by spaces for drawing where they can use their imagination to describe what a certain emotion might look like. It is complimentary and safe way to look at feelings before labelling them and is also suitable for children who may not yet have the language skills to process them.
There are also strategies listed which relate to each of the emotions, along with questions where they can think of other ways to help themselves through the more difficult feelings. When children are able to think of their own things to help them through these, they begin to learn to self-regulate which in turn supports a more positive mindset.
When completed, the workbook can be used to refer and reflect upon.
Ideal for using at home, therapy sessions or SEL/ELSA in a school setting.
